Only an editorial piece but it gets everyones attention

"Smaller hook-and-line operations in place of large trawlers on New England’s Stellwagen Bank have led to more stable cod and haddock fisheries."

Is this guy joking? (#$119)
NMFS has recently BANNED hook and line fishing, completly, for 6 months of the year on stellwagen bank, while the"large trawlers" and gillnetters are doing buisness as usual.
More stellar ,well researched journalism. :rolleyes:
