ENGO's go after Catch and Release and Hatcheries now

So with that said sounds like you would rather just have a full fishing closer then? Funny how you pick out a guides advertisement to state these “facts”. So I assume you won’t be on the water then fishing at all if your just hurting fish then right?

I’ve been very open on this forum in the facts that I commercial fish for a living and do a bit of sportsfishing when I can. Our vessel is a seiner/longliner and we don’t harvest chinooks. My point was that the ad looks bad once the enviros get ahold of it and use it against commercial and sports fishermen. Yes the recreational sector is feeling pain but the commercial trollers pretty much got wiped out. So no I won’t be out here playing catch and release. As for a full closure no I don’t support that. I think DFO made a mess out of this and the restrictions to both users could have been less severe so people that earn a living off the resource wether that be a commie, guide or tackleshop could survive.
