Many I have spoken with directly have since changed their tune and want the limit to stay at 28 inches even if that means a 1-fish bag limit as they feel it is easier in CT waters to regularly put their clients on a 28-inch fish than a 30-something-inch fish. I was told that the CT Party & Charter Boat Association submitted a recommendation to the DEEP in favor of a 2-fish limit, but this does not appear to have been the consensus of the organization but instead that of a minority within the ranks. This was told to me by a member of the association after a recent meeting.

Not at this time and I have a feeling that we may not have one.
