Just a thought, IMO there should be a reduction in both recreational and commercial fish takes and an emphasis on protecting the bait. That last part is somewhat being done (herring and menhaden) and hopefully the forage will come back.
The next step is to see where the current regs on Bass go. If that biomas drops, the triggers should kick in with a reduction on the fisheries.
I'm most concerned with missing year classes. How many schoolie range sizes seem to be missing?
