I was citing that rec. harvest numbers were down vs old methodology.
However, you are correct on your statements. I would love to see MCBA, MSSA, DNR and MD Dept of Tourism work together and advertise the fishing opportunities in the our states greatest resource. It would be one way to help our economy and state. I think programs like the MD fishing challenge are nice but they dont target non-current participants of fishing. While declines in recreational fishing industries are a product of the economy. They dont have to be IMHO.
