Guys: Please take the time to watch this crap spewed forth by some hippie biologist hired by your president. The Obama administration wants to decrease recreational quotas for red snapper


The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Gulf Council) consists of 17 voting members: the Southeast Regional Administrator of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the directors of the five Gulf state marine resource management agencies (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida), and 11 members who are nominated by the state governors, and appointed by the United States Secretary of Commerce.

I dont see how our President really has any impact here but would point out that the original red snapper restrictions went into place in 2008 under a guy named GW Bush.

yes and they are with great intention. But it's gotten to the point where snapper are taking over but the current NMFS will not admit it. They continue to shorten the public's season while letting the commercial guys catch at free will

You don't think the president's policies (through the commerce secretary's appointments) are meant play heavily against recreation fishermen? He sees this as another front to push his agenda against freedom minded individuals. The gun battle is another example.
