in response to benjaron:

Maybe it's time to have a year long closed season & let the crab's get a break for a longer spawn & time to mature We had to do it for the snook after the freeze Look how long it has taken pompano & mullet to recover from over fishing Give nature time to heal Unfortunate for Crabber's who rely on this but there is a limit to every thing They found this up north with cod 40 year's ago & that never recovered Maybe it would be best in the long run ???????

Very intelligent and well thought out suggestion benjaron. (sarcastic)

Considering "every" species of marine life has been over harvested at one period or another by ALL user groups. Maybe your brilliant idea should be applied across the board and shut down ALL harvesting of any species by ALL users, anglers, Charter Captains included???????

We could take YOUR brilliant idea and supply monetary compensation to all of these groups for their lack of income, pleasure, pain and suffering, etc. Of course the funds would come from the State...laughing my rear-end off.

Bet that would bring the marine fisheries back huh??????

Just think, there was a proposal to close down specific regions to anglers on the east coast, due to over harvesting of fish, that went over really well...didn't it?????

Would you supply your knowledge and resource to claims that the "pompano and mullet" have recovered? Or is this a visual observation on your part? After all, in your own words..." They found this up north with cod 40 year's ago & that never recovered."

Any more brilliant suggestions???????
