Thanks for reporting this. I was trying to figure it out when I first read it. It looks to me like we recreational fishermen got the shaft and once again commerial interests won. it is going to take at least 2 years for the reefs they are talking about building to be worthwhile to fish. So what's your take on this. Did we get screwed or not? thanks
