Just curious as to why the catch limit is at 24 per day? I would think after what happened in Ct and the increase of commercial limits maybe a better daily limit of 12 is needed to maintain the spawning populations? At the 24 per day this means someome could legally grab nearly 100 herring per week, that's an awful lot.
