From someone that commercial fished, and ran a large headboat to Cashes and Fippenies I couldn't agree more. Draggers are the scourge of the ocean. Destroy the bottom and "seeds" that create the circle of life. Watched George's turn into a wasteland. If made hook and line the only commercial option, stocks would explode, trip expenses would drop, and it would take 10 guys getting paid what now takes 4. Never going to happen, but eliminate draggers, and NMFS doesn't need to exist. Not possible to destroy a fishery, if you only catch what bites a hook.....period!!
