CEO of SCBFA(South Carolina Boating & Fishing Alliance) joins us this week to talk about a lot of imoortant topics in the world of fishing and boating. With under 400 Northern Right Whales left, there has been a big push to increade speed restrictions during the migration period of the species along the east coast. These regulations would effect recreational and commercial fishermen as well as the huge industry which is important to commerce, the cargo ship industry. Gettys shares some recent events that have taken place in Washington, D.C. and who is behind all the attention that is being put on creating these speed zones. We also have a lengthy discussion on the Red Snapper regulations and the incredibly poor data that continues to influence this very poorly regulated fishery. With many flaws being found in the data collection it is time for answers and for accurate data to be gathered and to loosen the grasps on this fishery. Along with these great topics, we dove into the Forward Facing Sonar discussion as well. Gettys is a former College Bassmaster National Champion and also a former employee of B.A.S.S and is a great reference to discuss the most popular topic in bass fishing with. We all realize that at some point there is going to need to be some regulations on the technology, just as is done in all other professional sports. Is it time for B.A.S.S to follow suit. Let us know and hope you enjoy the show!! for more info on SCBFA visit www.scbfa.com
