Gulf Coast fishermen join Washington protest against red snapper limits | al.com: "WASHINGTON -- During two decades in the fishing business, recreational charter boat captain Mike Rowell of Fairhope never participated in a protest on the industry's behalf.

Until Wednesday, that is, when he and his wife joined a noontime throng outside the U.S. Capitol angling for relief from increasingly stringent catch limits on red snapper and other prized saltwater fish around the country.

'We need flexibility,' Rowell said afterward."
