So I have a question and i would like to see what you guys think. Is it better to try and fight gillnets, commercial guys, and declining runs on the state or federal level? My argument for the federal level is this:
1. There are far more sport dollars generated nationaly than commercial dollars and then could win support in far more states than commercial guys can.
2. Several nat. runs are on the federal threatened speicies list and therefore would be very easy to place a moritorium on gillnets as they are nonselective harvest method.
3. Many hatcheries are federally funded, and with the current state of the economy funding on the scale that sportsfisherman can produce, as long as fish returns stay high.
So what do you guys think? State or fed? I'm curious what you think.
