Ummm I'm no genius but from what I read ..
Hawaii wasn't keeping up with enforcement of the commercial license.
The 41 businesses that were paying those fees got tired of the moocher's and figured out a way to force the others to either get out of the water or pay for the license.
It worked... Like it says Hawaii officials WERE NOT THE ONES THAT INITIATED THE INSPECTION IT WAS THE 41.
No limits were even set ... Just more product for those that are following the rules.
Seems everyone was quick to think the ban was legitimately occuring as of now. When in fact the 41 can still fish... The others simply need an addendum to the already completed report and pay the fees. I understand that if people are willing to pay then there's not much anyone can do...and that wouldn't be a rip off But I find it a bit upsetting that we support the LFS and online shops, whose business it is to know current practices. Yet not one post have I been able to find where any of them CLARIFIED those misleading post. It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't "GameStop" us.... But they went for the $400-$1000+.
