As the Fisheries meeting their policy was that they should not have to adhere to the commercial quota of 5 Bass per day. That THEY should be allowed to keep and sell every bass that ended up in their nets. Yep, that makes sense especially since the commercial bass regs state that it is rod and reel only in RI.
Paul I know you are. As stated I did not know what fishery they were talking about. You are correct sir they. Should be happy they get to break rules at 5 a day. We can't keep any. We also dont get many in our gear 60 fathom is a bit different though. Sadly enough I wonder how many realize this bp oil problem is killing off an bft spawn season seeing as they are or would be in gulf of Mexico spawning ummmm now...... again Paul your right they shouldn't be bitchin about anything if they get a 5 a day limit....
