Thanks for posting the story, Fin. You guys are right on this one. We need to get the jurisdiction changed to judges with maritime experience, or maritime courts. This has been suggested many times by Fin and others, but will not happen unless we keep applying pressure. Recreational fishermen apathy is a hindrance to progress in this area. If reading this gets you mad, contact your nearest local fisherman PAC (RFA, etc) and ask them if they are doing anything about it. If not, ask them why, and if they are not the ones to contact about this, who is?

Changes won't happen by just talking about this on the internet.,
Get angry, and get busy.
Feel free to post any results or findings here.
Thanks for taking the time to consider this, people. The actions you do or do not take today will affect your fishing tomorrow.
