Work Together
Like I stated on my original post, need to find a way to work together so we can all have an opportunity at these fish. As far as being lucky to be able to target these fish because theyare spawning, I disagree. With the size of these mature fish, they have already spawned during their life probally several times. This is not the only spawning grounds inshore. If these fish had to be totally protected to rebuild the stocks it would have been part of the Amendment 13 process. Smaller fish of all species which many of us land, often dye due to stresseven after being released without ever spawning. It is only my opinion that the mortality levels are taken into account so the stocks can still rebuild and fisherman can harvest a reasonable amount of the species. I don't know too many fisherman who would want to kill every last fish as without them we have no charters or fun.
