Comms in mass seem to be able to do it no prob?

AND IF YOU CAN'T then the fishery is probably in worse shape than I thought, and we should push for immediate moratorium.
So you cleverly phrased your statement so that either way you're right. However it's a simplified statement and does not take into account the fact that fish move inshore and offshore .
There were plenty of days around Race Point when commercial guys did not take the limit . I believe Chatham was the same. On those days we pushed out a little bit and unfortunately the fish with more than 3 miles out.
I guess we suck because we can't guarantee a limit of 33 inch fish let alone a limit of 28 inch.
