BGunn: Do you have any commercial netters setting nets in Western Lake Erie? The reason I ask is that the perch fishing in the central basin has deteriorated to an alarming degree. The few perch caught are less than 9 inches.
It gets worse every year. The only thing increasing is the orange buoys that mark where gill nets are set. Do you how the allocation of fish to commercial fishing compares to the take of sports fishing? Where can you find the location commercial licenses? Thanks.
