East Coast - gillnets versus gamefish - bad_angler - 09-21-2007
Hi guys.
I thought I'd pass on some footage that is amazing..here on the east coast many states allow recreational and commercial gill nets. On the gulf coast they are banned except for Alabama. Two guides in eastern North Carolina have begun shooting footage of gill nets covering waters end to end and also of nets left unattended. High and dry with a net full of fish. I came away after watching it thinking this is an incredible waste. [#ff4040](Link dissallowed on this site)[/#ff4040]

[/#ff4040]The guides that shot the video documenting what they think is an important issue have received threats over the net.

That is too bad that people have no heart for conservation. That is a terrible waste of game fish.[pirate]
