Strongly disagree with the petition
 

I do not support this petition. I will be 97 years young in May. I started menhaden fishing at the age of 27. I was a Captain for 37 years and fished from Main to Texas for menhaden for 3 different companies. We had some good years and some bad years but we always caught fish. I have had 3 sons that were Captains and the youngest is still at it. The business was very good to me and my family. There are only 6 boats fishing now and there is no way than are hurting this Bay.
