Woody from what I have learned from several PM's I am banging my head against the perverbial wall...I appreciate your ability to express your opinions without sarcasm but again disbanding the MA commercial season will not have the effect that you think..why not attack MD or North Carolina where they use nets on smaller fish.????.
Do you think I higrade? Its hard enough to get your limit some days to then throw them over...I am happy with 30 34" inch fish because I get a better price from by buyer because they are shippable. I mean 450 pounds at 3.25 a pound is a nice day three times a week...However I am beating my head against the wall because you guys think all commercial guys cheat but guess what I don't and neither do the guys I hang out and fish with. Remember we do have a quota and when that quota is full the charter boats and recreational guys still go on targeting the same fish, just as they would if there were no commercial season...for the most part the fish we have here in mass are the breeding fish whether they ar 26 to 50 inches I have caught them with eggs in them...so the only way to achieve what you all seem to want is a complete moratorium on keeping the fish at all...so I bid you all good luck with that!
