Basically the gov't sent a letter to over 1k fla key charter guides and said they can't fish. That's putting a lot of folks out of work. With much of the waters being state waters, I don't know hoe this is possible. Not only that, the fisherman are self funding everything they do & don't get fed subsidies. Wtf??
if it's OCS, the fed controls the waters. I think it's 7 miles off and deeper. It's probably more of a safety issue with FWS, NOAA, and some coast guard personnel being unavailable.
Either way, they can open back up tomorrow. Passed the house and senate and Obama has said he's sign it. Fed should be back tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Tell them Political Hack said fish away.
Nothing has made me feel more tea party ultraconservative militia rebel and point guns at federal goons than this shutdown bullshit. I'm not the boat fishing type, but honestly, they'd have to pull me in. Come get it.
