Uploaded on March 09, 2010

today i noticed on espn outdoors webites that there was a article about obama plannign a recreational fishing ban and that not many people have know about this so im tryin to get this out there cause this would not only effect the fisherman it would effect people who work with fish on a daily basis for a living so spread this around for people to know about we are the only ones who can speak out against this i may only be 15 but i have a storng passion for fishign and dont want to see it get wreck to where i can fish anymore in my life

The ESPN article is just bad journalism and simply panders -- successfully, apparently -- to our conspiratorial fears . There is *no* danger of a recreational fishing ban -- that issue is not on anyone's table. I encourage F&S to provide more accurate and responsible coverage of this issue.

GanzAndere, an article on Associated Content is hardly enough to assuage the mistrust recreational (not to mention commercial) anglers have for the Pew Environment Group and "Transition Green," which has effectively set the stage for the Obama Administration's fisheries policies. We've seen big bites taken out of the recreational red snapper fishery in federal waters along the Texas coast, bullying from the Feds about Texas' state snapper limit, and the appeals of recreational anglers have fallen on completely DEAF ears. There is no cause for believing that recreational fishing is in trouble across the board, but if you don't think fishing for certain species and in certain waters can't or won't be SHUT DOWN, you're simply wrong.
Jane Lubchenco at NOAA and her cronies at PEW are something that should raise the hair on all recreational anglers' heads, not to mention the fact that this administration will kill commercial fishing as we know it, if they haven't already.

fortunately some sanity is re-emerging in the conversation:

"Today, ESPNOutdoors.com Executive Editor Steve Bowman acknowledged that "we made several errors in the editing and presentation of this installment.... [and] this particular column was not properly balanced and failed to represent contrary points of view."

NO GOOD can come from any involvement of Obama with hunting or fishing!

Wow, a little feisty there folks.

This is all fear mongering. 0% chance of any ban on sport fishing with the possible exception of isolated off-shore spawning areas.

As usual, all it takes is one person of low level information to bring out the rest of his ilk as they escalate fear and loathing to near seditious behavior. Sadly, this Field & Stream sponsored, but not administered properly, Subscriber Forum is, once again, off-topic which leads to offensive commentary.
