Just saw a release that indicated that NMFS is going to count the 1st half of the "over quota" due to discards to the long liners. They had discussed taking that off the "angling" category. As it stands now, the Angling category is unchanged from that set initially.

Good Buckman will be filling that part of the quota all by himself. Now I understand why that boat it called HOT REELS !!!!!!!

As it should be. I am sure they will adjust stuff come September.

Harpoon is 60%
The real test will be George's. If people stay off George's until later in the season general will stay open longer. The true commercial guys are scared all of the 60 ft sports will head out and pull a quota grab for $2 fish.

The commercial guys will be forced to go to Georges early.
