Re: who will support a petition to ban gill nets from MA state waters?
Sounds like I've come up with a good idea. no? Ok...I'll start writing something now, I'm gonna have to look at the CMR and see how it needs to be modified to accommodate these changes....I'll be back.
Re: who will support a petition to ban gill nets from MA state waters?
Before your head starts making changes; What are your credentials to be asking for any changes? Are you a stand out at meetings? Has your name been mentioned in newspapers in regards to the fishery, any fisheries?
What are the chances that they enforce a-stop-to-fishing policy, (ex, Canada's Moratorium in the early '90's,) or make it a free for all?

Re: who will support a petition to ban gill nets from MA state waters?
I am not a gillnetter, never been on one, I know of the Cape Cod gillnetters through associations, I worked on longliners, and did commercial bass, tuna. I read about the meetings that have taken place and wanted to know if I ever have read your name and wanted to know why your trying to take controll of this issue with the gillnetters.
Why do you try to put everyone in a corner if they disagree or question your motive?
Re: who will support a petition to ban gill nets from MA state waters?
pretty broad brush you are painting with.....I'm gonna make this my last post here...I'm sick of assholes like you and I am totally sick of how badly this lame ass site works.

closing areas--- (or closing them forever as Diodati seems to be doing in the ccz) is not fishery management!
It's just the easy way out for fishery managers.

worse yet, closing them off with zero public input, by emegency action......no public hearings beforehand, just a letter in the mailbox saying, "sorry, I can't deal with conflict", so you're outa business.......pretty lame way to "manage" our fisheries.
Funny how even though they closed the area off Nahant, recs still managed to HARVEST
175,000 #'s from state waters in 2006??? I wonder where this magic fishing spot is....I don't see anyone fishing off the backside of the cape in the winter in private boats for cod..... the CCZ is closed, so that leaves what little area in the bay that is open to fishing, while the fish are here.
The CCZ wasn't closed to protect anything but Diodati's fat a$$, he is scared to death of conflict, the NMFS was bearing down on him hard to "do something" about all the cod that were being "landed" from state waters, which is beginning to look like a huge lie, told to keep the truth about how those fishwere actually being landed.
Diodati needs to go away, ride off on his friggin BMW into the sunset....he's ruined this states fisheries through his blatant ineptitude!
