Commercial fishing study (aka Gill nets)
Just wanted to remind everyone to go to the TWRA website express their opinions and feelings about the proposed commercial fishing study on gill nets on currently unopen waters in Tennessee. This is a study that will cost either the TWRA (our fishing license dollars) or the tax payer around $800,000.00 to complete, not to mention killing countless numbers of fish. It would also be a good idea to contact your state representative who unanimously passed legislation trying to force the TWRA to do this study. But as it stands right now the TWRA commissioners sent the proposal back to the assembly asking for funding. The assembly can either fund this study, force the TWRA to fund the study, or not do the study. I don’t think it is right for us sport fisherman or taxpayer to fund this study that will kill countless #'s of fish. So whatever your opinions on the matter please contact the TWRA and your representative and let them know..... The clock is ticking........
Thank you for your time....
