Is this just in MA ? because i doubt rec guys are taking 26 million pounds with out reporting data in Mass alone ? are they counting paid charters as rec's . just license guys? I am not against either group but as we point fingers at each other whos to blame nothing changes for the better

Comm 2013 Quota: 997,869 pounds 2014 Quota: 1.15 million pounds whats 2015 going to bring

look at herring rec guys cant get them but Commercial boats can
because of a word game ocean and river 2011 they took 200 million pounds same fish For the 2013-2015 fishing seasons, the Commission set the ACL at 237.7 million pounds, an 18% increase from 2010-2012 limits

I am for commercial slot limit 33in to 42 over that mandatory release and rec 28 42 over that mandatory release as well Nation Wide

unless your a lobbyist with deep pockets public hearings are a farce
just an illusion to make the common man or women fell relevant and that they have a voice in the process . I wish I felt different but its how I see it . show up or send an email they both carry equal weight (NONE)
