Help Stop Illegal Net Fishing!!!













As you all know I sometimes take up worthy causes and that is why I implore you to help now. We MUST be extremely careful not to over fish certain areas ... it is our duty to keep only what we plan to use and pledge to CATCH and RELEASE what we know we cannot...

It is always common courtesy and helps make friends to leave some specimens for others. You will reap what you sow. If we do not, surely the supply will dwindle down over time. For this reason I am asking all of my friends to call or write their congressmen and ask them to pass the proposed bill #CR6969 requiring Catch and Release for catches over 5 in spawning areas and would eliminate the use of net fishing in these areas in favor of a rod and real instead. As you can see from the regrettable instances shown below this is a serious problem. It is simply too easy to over-fish while netting

I am sure you too will agree with me that this bill must be passed.



.. This is What Can Happen
Anything you can do would be appreciated......
