Vic, Clammer and I attended the meeting. Really nothing of any consequense to report other than 3 nitwits who run gill nets tried to put a provision in the commerciasl laws to allow the gill netters to keep 5 bass a day. They were promptly informed that the gill net laws are enacted by the legislature and not the fisheries guys. Case closed. Also looks like a longer season for Fluke and Scup. I think Vic was taking notes.`
Menhaden was a long debate but it looks like the bait netters can take up to 120,000 pounds a day until 1 million to 1.5 million pounds are caught. 50% of the total Bay biomass.
