Fly------True, true, oh so true, BUT------
You say-------"This may be part of my confusion. I thought these agencies also represented the interest of the health of the forest and were in the
business of ensuring sustainable harvest so that the resource could be protected for future use and enjoyment."
Your statement (again) is true, but I don't believe it conflicts with what I said-------thus I don't understand the confusion.
Again, perhaps you (or your sources) are missing the BIG picture-------The USFS, and to a lesser degree the BLM, are charged with providing for, and
assuring, a sustained yield of forest products (and minerals, grazing, etc.). And these agencies use science and experience to do this. In doing
this, some, from both internally and externally, think that any contact with "outside interests" represents "colusion" between the "industry" and the
Govt.. This is a catch 22 for the USFS (BLM)-----they HAVE to work with the "industry" since the forests are harvested by industry, not the USFS/BLM,
but also are charged with protecting the resources from exploitation by that industry---------they do both, and personally I think they do a pretty
good job. The "owl folks" tend to lose site of this fact, however, or simply do not agree. They wear blinders, in my opinion----tunnel vision!!
Now the Park Service (NPS) is simply charged with "protection" and "preserving", with NO harvesting------maintaining a "natural" environment. Their
problem is "what is truly natural"? Completely natural is no longer possible with man lurking about (unless one accepts the premise that "man is part
of nature", which I do). Therefore, they too are more and more "managing" the resources for the enjoyment of future generations (reads people)
(controlled burns, etc. ), but to a much lesser degree than either USFS and BLM.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Baja, or with fishes, or with great pictures of beautiful subjects. To those of you who could care
less about this subject above, I apologize for taking up your time-----Fly and I should be U2U'ing, I suppose.
Viva Baja (and beautiful pictures)

Barry,
Thank you very much for the clarification.
How I think this relates to Baja is that you have described a model of how the USofA has developed institutions to address the competing interests of
people who would exploit, use the resources, and those who would preserve those resources.
As to hooters and fish, now that connection is more difficult, but we are working on it. I will observe both more.

You're correct.
Sheepshead is for those who absolutely must kill something, but as far as eating it then you could do much better.

I agree-----every time I return to this thread I gravatate towards the first post, and it is NOT because of the fish displayed!!!!
Photos are worth a thousand words, for sure. | Quote: | Originally posted by shari
What's all the comotion over the fish in the picture..I took this photo and it was the BIKINI I loved...white as snow in Saskatchewan! That's what
lured that sheepshead! Gypsies, I think you should get your white butts down here as all this earthquake business started when you left!

There are two things that smell like fish - one of them is fish

I can't understand anybody saying sheephead aren't good eatin'.
Just becuase they are easy to shoot don't mean they ain't good grub. They aren't as plentiful on the inshore reefs as the used to be, but there are
still healty populations in deeper waters.
BTW
Gar Goodson's "Fishes of the Pacific Coast" calls them "very good eating" and I and everybody I know that's had it agree.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Yesterday some neighbours came over here and we had an excess of fish to give away due to some Nomads fishing with us and the fish of choice was the
sheepshead...it makes absolutely divine chowder...unbeatable in a stew for sure and great ceviche as well. so there!

If I may say so myself, I made a kick butt soup out of the Sheep's head. Not a fan of it any other way. Juan also makes an amazaing chowder with
sheep's head.
