Thread: Wunc tv - net effect

Good job posting notice of this documentary which politely allows the viewer to judge for his or herself about how our public resources of fish and aquatic animals are managed, or are they really an entitlement for a protected breed of exploitative over harvesting operators who have driven fish stocks into the ground since Rachel Carson warned us about the near total destruction of our state's shad runs back before most of us were born, and continuing through the destruction of gray trout, croaker and spot populations by shrimpers in the nursery sounds, and by flynetters in the ocean. You are allowed to draw your own conclusions as to whether our all knowing and fully entitled commercial gillnetters give a dingleberry about crashing our precious southern flounder population into smithereens and causing them to be unable to grow past a foot long or more by their all knowing efforts of full gillnet coverage, at all times in our sounds, while the fishermen sleep. Yes, both democrat and republican voters will hardly know the part both parties have played in this fisheries resource destruction, because, darn it, we let em do it by voting for them and not paying attention, allowing the supremely entitled coastal counties' politicians, and the God supported fish house mafia to unite with the incredibly brilliant coastal newspapers(outer bunk voice, and Beaufort stink wrapper, for instance) arguing for our continued political and economic support in them catching/ killing all our fish-- and it's ALL DONE IN YOUR iNTEREST. Heck, the inland angler will truly feel the compassion of these deeply concerned folks who only want to make sure YOU have access to the fish they make available to you in the fish markets of the world, because, by cracky, you can't catch em yourself now anyway. That's one big reason I have to drive over to Raleigh from the coast in the winter, to catch your crappies--- there's too few fish left here to bother trying to catch them. Oh yeah, Net Effect can be streamed at any time on WRAL's website, it's good for a laugh if you know this stuff, but it'll hopefully make you cry if you're just getting up to speed on what fellow " North Carolinians" have been doing down here at the coast for the last 6 or 7 generations and counting!

I have watched it and it well worth your time if you fish coastal waters, you can go to WRAL web site and pull it up and watch it also.
