Name: Doug Sapusek on Feb 19, 2010Comments: This is a bad idea on so many front. The fishery will be impacted, the Bahamian business will feel it, and the recreational anglers will lose a valuable asset.Flag

Name: Captain Richard H. Peeples on Feb 21, 2010Comments: Considering the millions of dollars spent recreationally fishing for yellofins and other pelagics in the Bahamas I can't believe the Bahamian goverment would even consider allowing antone to commercial fish in Bahamian waters. Harbour Island is what it is today because of yellowfin tunas. There was nothing there until people discovered the yellowfin tuna there. When I srarted go there Valentine's was just a small t-head dock with 8 electrical outlets. No other marinas. We were the first to start live baiting the tunas. We got tired of watching the locals; Bernard and Randall, catch so many and we were just trolling around. We pulled up to Bernard and hired him to go with us the next day. It won't take the netters long to wipe out all the tunas in the Bahamas. I predict in less than 1 year it will be over. The Bahamians must realize that nets and longlines are just wholesale slaughter of a fishery. Just look what we allowed over here for years. I can't believe the Bahamian commercial fisherman will just stand aside and let this happen. I hope not.Flag
