Question

Why should our fishermen refrain from using dynamites,chemicals,or nets with fine holes?

Answer 1

Because they're illegal??

Where do the uninformed get these dumb ideas about fishing practices???

Answer 2

Because its ridiculous.  The first two benefit no one, it ruins everything...

The last one is cheating!  Unless you getting a few baitfish....

Sounds like someones been fishing with some real rednecks!!!   :P

Answer 3

Go head on, bro. Nature has a way of weeding out the unwise and unfit.

Answer 4

Possibly to protect the fish population! all of these methods decrease the fish population by killing under sized fish and other aquatic life.

Answer 5

Dynamite: Non-selective, kills everything within blast radius, destroys habitat.

Chemicals: Non-selective, can kill all animal and plant species in a body of water depending on the chemical, can destroy habitat, difficult or impossible to clean up, effects can last for decades.

Fine mesh nets: Will trap all species including small fish that are the main food source of larger fish.

So, if you want to be able to continue fishing and actually have fish to catch, those methods are best avoided.

If you just want to fill the boat today and don't care that there may be nothing left to catch tomorrow, go right ahead and use any of those methods.

Answer 6

its unsportsman, illegal, and makes environmentalists mad

Answer 7

I think that you are pulling every ones leg just to fire them up. No one could possibly be serious with this question- My great grandfather blew himself up using dynamite to fish with.

Answer 8

Take for instance the Gelle brothers. They were out one day using dynamite for fish, totally illegal and comes with a big fine. Well, one doesn't have to worry about paying that fine because he decided to smoke a cigarette while he was setting it. Blew him apart.  

The other one lost his arm and his face will never be the same.

Chemicals ruin the ecosytem and harm the water and other life such as the birds that eat the fish. Bad chain reaction.

Nets with fine holes catches and kills things that the fisherman isn't even fishing for.

If one chooses to fish these ways then they had better be prepared to pay the price of the ticket they get when they get caught, and I hope they do get caught. To me, they aren't true fisherman, just greedy, small-minded people.
