Trying to understand this economic impact.... If I take my clients out on a charter and the limit is 2 fish per man at 28", that will equate to 10 dead bass a trip...Now lets say you got the bonus tag like you do here in NJ its 15.... Im no mathmetician but if it were a 1 fish limit per man than thats 5 dead bass and results in far fewer fish killed recreationally and overall. The economic impact stays the same if they kill 5, 10, or 15 fish on a trip???? The more they kill the more thats given away to nieghbors or frozen and forgoten...
A 1 fish limit would reduce a 10 million pound catch to probably around 5 million.
Look, almost everybody I know that charters, or fishes recreationally KILLS their limit. The response I get is, "The law says I can kill two so Im Killing two"
