April 14, 2024 — For Zack Robinson, fishing isn’t just a job.
“The ocean’s my life,” he said.
Robinson has been gill-netting for 15 years, catching halibut and seabass.
“Gill netting is my passion. I love it. There are a lot of misconceptions about net fishing. It’s not a dirty fishery like they say it is. We are not the bad guys, and that hurts, to work so hard and to be told you’re no good,” Robinson said.
He says that if Assembly Bill 2220 passes, it would threaten his livelihood.
