The central coast is riddled with protected areas, so its not like im unfamiliar to this. I was just stating that i'm tired of hearing people moaning that their favorite fishing spots are in the closures and the same slippery slope argument of "they're trying to outlaw fishing." Maybe the closures were a bit extreme but its at least a step in the right direction...rather than pissing and moaning to this forum, piss and moan to the right people and get something done about it...just my two cents...and i am now a officially a pariah of the boards!!!!
