I don't think I am all that clever. Either way I am right. you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Either:
A) Professional fishermen will follow fish inshore, offshore, east & west, to fill their 2 fish limit on most days, be it 28", 33" or probably 36"
B) There are not enough fish left for professional fishermen to find their 2 fish limit per guest of fish 33"+ on many days, either inshore or offshore, or anywhere legally fishable.
If the answer is B, then would you not agree that we have a SERIOUS SERIOUS issue, and take even more drastic measures??
I personally think the answer is A. So if you let charters take 2@33, all you are doing is doubling the amount that the charter fleet will take in 2015. How could that be good for the health of the resource? Use all the fisheries mgmt math you want, taking twice as many fish CAN NOT BE THE SAME.
