Subject: commercial fishing
Mrs Beavers, I am a proud supporter of yours and appreciate you very much,I am a business owner and avid fisherman residing in Smith county. I am writing in regards to some legislation that concerns fishing in our district. I understand that the commercial fishing industry is lobbying to allow commercial fishing on Old hickory(above 109 bridge) and Cordell Hull. I believe this would be a great travesty on the trophy striper waters we have here. I would like to know what can be don't to stop this. There are only about 70 licensed commercial fisherman in Tennessee, I don't know the exact number of sport fisherman, but I am sure it is substantial. Please stop the wheels in motion to allow this. I would love to talk to you about this,
Thank you for your time,
Todd Smith
