Then you have been reading outdated materials. The 2003 year class is one of the largest in recent memory and will be big enough to catch starting in 2006 or 2007, depending on the size limits. We are trying to protect as many of them as we can so that we can get several more strong year classes out of them before they begin to get depleted in numbers. If you want to get codfish more help, lobby the MA and NH fishery managers to close the near shore spawning areas from November 15 to Jan. 31st.
