PBH,
You sure like to use strong words to sound big and confident. Trying to overcompensate for something?! Maybe you wish something was a little bit bigger?[shocked]
Just curious. What would it take for you to actually consider an opinion has any value to it? A biology degree? Decades with DWR? PHD?
Seriously, we are educated fishermen who may not know the ins and outs of the system, finances or technicalities. But we have educated practical knowledge from a fishermans point of view, and I thought almost all of this was for the fishermen, especially those paying to support the resource. Correct me if I am wrong?
To clarify, I think the DWR is doing a great job with Strawberry. I am not knocking them for saying I think it could be better.
I also think DWR screwed up with Scofield, big time, and if that can't be admitted, then they aren't any different from the rest of our govt. But i do applaud their efforts to undo their mistakes.
Give some credit where it is due. If my and duckdog's opinions don't mean anything from a fishermans point of view, than who's does? I was pissed at the 8 fish limit, called for a slot and reduction of limit, then predicted the state record would be obliterated at Scofield once they did. Not a biologost, but hands on experience proved just as valuable and accurate as biologist conclusions but years sooner.
Too bad being a field biologist doesn't pay more. Maybe more of us with more experience would have taken that route.
