This is rubbish. Our rights as fishermen to natural resources are just as valid as those of commercial fishermen, perhaps more so.

The reality of it is that there should be no “unlimited” license, and you should be able to sell your recreational caught limit. That’s the only “fair” way to sell the resource. You used to be able to do this before the SAFMC went the other way with it. What could be more fair from a moral perspective than everyone is entitled to the same amount and you can determine what you want to do with your share whether that is eat it or sell it?
That being said, for those who blame the commercial sector for red snapper, you are way off… There just aren’t that many commercial snapper\grouper boats operating out of the South East any more. When the feds look at the numbers, we get punished because of the pressure in Florida.
I totally agree everybody gives them a hard time.They didnt make the rules not all support the CATCH SHARES KICK.Ive done it for a long time sold out was nice when we didnt have to take a computer to figure out what we could keep.Also loved to sell fish when i went fun fishing with someone else.Now doing the private boat stuff waiting on the boss to call and polishing metal lol. I know it sucks when you have a good bite going ten minutes later now what we gonna do.
All commercial fishing should be outlawed.Think about it,at one time you could sell largemouth bass ,crappie and white tail deer but it had to be abolished.Commercial fisherman need to get a real job instead of smoking reefer and pulling a net
Not all smoke pot maybe your job should be outlawed.
I’m rich so I don’t worry about it.But I’m just saying,at one time you could sell any thing but it had to be abolished
