on the bass reg's...I still don't get it. 30 fish per day? (gotta keep that sunday open for all those serious comm types

) This number should be droped to something like 5 fish/day 3 days per week. The season will be the exact same as last year. 22 days or so.

Importing fish for year round consumption (< 34") bizzare...why do we support this ?

Finally double dipping charter capts for groundfish fishing stops (that was long overdue)...I am not sure if this applys for bass..it certainly SHOULD.

Rec min size for fluke up to 17"..I can live with that but looks like the comm rod and reel limit stays at 14"? what a RIPOFF!

scup limited but in a weird and uninforceable way. Once again, looks like the rec fisherman cut and the comm limit increased and liberalized.
