I was not trying to tell anyone what to do, it was more of a question. No laws were broken or maybe the laws themself are what's broken. The Ca Fish and Game seem to let everything go as is until there is a problem. Look at the Abalone population or Black sea bass, there are alot less Albacore than in the past. Now some of our channel Islands areas are closed to fishing because of over fishing. I'm not a tree hugger by any means, I don't belong to any groups, I surf, but don't join Surfrider, because of their anti fishing stance. The older I get, the more I see the need to conserve some of our presious resources. I fished Albacore commerically in the early 70's, and we would catch 100 fish an hour on jigs, now look at the Albacore population. I live in Ojai by choice, and plan to stay there, I moved from San Diego 25 years ago, when I saw how crowded it was getting. When I fish now I only keep what I will eat that night and release everything else so hopefully there will be fish when I fish tomorrow. I'm not putting any one down just making suggestions.
