Its not empowering or strengthening the guides to effectively kill the industry which the proposal has the likelihood of doing. The fee is large enough to scare off even the most ardent bonefishermen. The anglers will simple go elsewhere where they are not so heavily taxed after the other already high expenditures involved with the sport.
Squeezing the anglers who spend all that money on their trips to the Bahamas to flats fish for that kind of money will only serve to drive them away. A single day fee that you are suggesting is prohibitive. They could fly to Belize where the fishing is extraordinary or spend a few days in the Florida Keys chasing fish for less than just a single day fee. No it will not help your guides. It will run them out of business.
