Hook, most here would echo Jencourt's sentiments. "[I welcome] Intelligent debate, supported by informed and accurate information."
That would include proper spelling and grammar. Trying to read posts phonetically is painful ... Spell and grammar check are your friends.
As far as Holmes goes, I would suggest that he is on the side of the resource and not an ill-conceived, poorly thought-out and ultimately VERY unfair allocation of a public resource that benefits a very select few.
These are not "your" fish, "our fish", or "any particular person or entity's fish", they are a PUBLIC resource. That is, approx 33 million people "own" it.
Picture this: Mr. JusFerDa Halibut is cruising in Russia's waters this month, down to the US (Alaska) the following month, then into Canadian (BC) waters the month after that.
So, who owns Mr. Halibut then? He is "from" Russian, so is he theirs? He cruised through Alaska, so is he theirs? He ended up in BC, so is he ours?
Give it some thought.
capt hook
the sports fishermens worst enemy , is or are people like Holmes who come onto a open forum read by DFO and say dumb #### about abusing regulations and probably following thru with it.
It hurts us all.
I just hope WHEN you get caught , they will do what they can do and take your TRUCK , BOAT and GEAR and fine you.
Someone shoud reel in this loss canon , he is not helping anyone.
