Some people have been harassed by NOAA for going fishing in areas that are dominated by species that are closed harvest. They don't fine you, but they have sure made it so that you don't want to go fishing. Top that off with $3 a gallon gas and the cost that most incur to run 50+ miles one way offshore to get to where many of the targeted species are, and it isn't worth the hassle.

NMFS= No More Fishing Season

And yes Willy, this is just the tip of the iceburg.
