Please point me to the post where it says that the DFG is trying to "shut down all fishing". I think there have been some good discussions of the pros and cons of the MLPA and other proposed closures on the this board. I think by in large people on this board respect the DFG for what they do in regards to protecting our fishing resources and making sure that everyone obeys the laws. I personally get great satisfaction in seeing DFG bust people who are breaking the law. Where some might have issue is when it comes to shutting down large portions of the California coast to all fishing.
Please get your facts straight before coming in with the flames.
