Cleaning up fraud and abuse is something I would applaud. However derailing something that the entire recreational fishing population of the state is wanting badly and also is the larger tax paying/revenue paying part of the department, until he changes his stance on this I want him out immediately.

This. I agree cleaning up fraud is the right thing to do. However, that has nothing to do with the snapper issue. They are not related in anyway. Melancon is going to screw up years of fighting that had finally gained traction until he and JBE showed up.

And if he doesn't change his stance, what are you going to do? Are you willing to sit out this upcoming hunting season? Or maybe not buy a fishing license?

Melancon knows he's not going to get fired and JBE knows rec fisherman votes don't matter to him. Even if every single recreation fisherman doesn't vote for him next election, he still loses nothing.
