You just said the second one was a lobbyist. At what point does one stop being a lobbyist?
Secondly, I just repeated what the third speaker reported. If he is not correct, (without splitting hai ...

The first 2 speakers were lobbyists reading hastily written speeches. The third, Chuck Lockridge, has clearly lived, studied, and researched the topic thoroughly. He's the one to listen to IMO. His ...

I also will argue that. Lets say you have 18 reds in 300 yards of flounder net in August. The water temp is 80. They are dead, and you will have to check the gills to see if they are spoiled or not. B ...

There were 20,000 license pre FRA but you also needed an endorsement to sell, I believe. And the SCFL's were capped and the existing endorsement to sell.

The funds were cut off with FRA, and DMF has been bleeding red ink ever since.

And the guides are simply an access for the public ...

The 300,000 pound cap lasted one year, 1990 and reduced to 250,000 in 1991. 100# trip was set and reduced to 7 fish in 2001 because of cap busting - you can thank your Dare County buddies for that. ...

There is no quota on red drum rather than a cap. I initially thought 250K was too high but with the "bycatch" allowance, landings from trip tickets have averaged a little over 150,000 pound ...
