You are right, we are the easiest target. We don't band together like the commercials, and don't have the funding that the trawlers, commercials, etc. have.

So we are the target because the groups that wish to establish what they think and want, won't go after the bigger groups since they know they'll have a fight on their hands financially and will have a much bigger battle against groups that band together.

I think if these people were really so concerned at helping our fisheries instead of achieving their ego-driven goals, they would go after the trawlers and commercials who do far more damage than kayakers, PB'ers, spearos, or surf fishers could ever do.

Instead they are choosing the path of least resistance...or so they think.
