With the Mag-Stev. act crushing the season and limits over the past couple years...how bad will it be THIS summer? I have been reading dribs and drabs over the winter about this and it does not look good. Given the case that the biomass of the species is near record highs this rebuild in 10 years or else strategy seems impossible to meet even if we stopped fishing altogether. Anyway, any idea what the season will be like this summer? (Given a choice, I for one would rather have a longer season and an higher size then a shorter season and a smaller size)
