Quota dropped
Don't forget in the math the quota went from a million pounds to 800k. Ma dmf should be able to provide the location distribution of the fish (although that info has from noise from people catching and selling up where they live). Northshore was terrible till about 10 days ago. Guys floating around for 10 hours to catch 2 fish? There was very little in the way of big fish in the Rocks. Pogy school in Salem to date has been unmolested. Even Ron Powers struggled some reports great fishing and to even throw a decent picture of a bass up. The kicker is that everyone has gotten so much better at fishing for the bass. That factor is the biggest reason I think there are dark clouds on the horizon (for the big fish).
