Maybe the recreational lobby, should request a non participation of the commercial fishery when the Browns Bay derby is on? Just dreaming I guess! This is starting to look like one of the better rec fisheries in this area we have left.In any case, I wish all you doggers out there a good and safe fun time. Wish I could join you, but I'm limited to a twelve foot Lund and would be a little concerned about the run across the narrows. Eman
