There needs to be a balance between Commericals and Recreational. I watched a crew pulling in a net on a C-boat off of the spit that landed more fish in a day than could be brought off the island in a weekends worth of coolers....and that was just one boat.
If no balance is reached between commerial and recreatonal the end result will be be a critically depleted fish stock that drives all but the biggest commerical guys out of business and a failed recreational industry.
I can always go to VA and fish. The commerical guy's can't do that as easily.
