Ny comms are 28 35 in. Nj and Connecticut seem to have no comm season? Ri now closed. But fish traps no limit min size 26in.

So we now have pogies you can walk on and no bass under most of them and a federal government who sees the environment and its fishery as fast money with sustainability seen as a liberal and environmental terrorism..

Still dont know how or why people eat bass with so many better choices flavor and texture which are easier to catch? But what do I know I am one voice in a sea of voices

Well, poachers are known to stir sh!t up for petty self serving needs and lack of being held as a child, so there is that

Short versions and have been saying for 20 years. Everyone, every group, needs to cut back (and yes get the poachers) drastically
