Perhaps then extending the commercial season to a larger amount of days....say 60 or so...but reduce the amount that can be taken daily, weekly, and monthly would go a long way towards not wiping out complete generations of fish
I've liked The RI comm set up until two years ago, when they closed Fridays and Saturdays (nice job by the weekday guys' lobby to keep the guys like me who work another job all week from selling on weekends). RI season happens twice a year and the daily limit is five (landings Sun-Thursday), instead of the 30 in Mass. Five fish works out good enough to be worth it for part time comms (like myself). Although I'm not sure the guys who depend on the dough would want to give up that bigger limit in Mass. Sounds like they won't have a choice.
