this meeting was to review both arc's and the club federations proposals for the purpose of determining which if any proposals would be brought to the fisheries council meeting on feb. 22.
random observations.
nobody can agree where the menhaden actually spawn. some say the bay, others say the open ocean. this is a biggie.
arc bait being a small private entity sure has a lot of influence. they seem to be in a postion to play give and take with the state?????
a few members of the advicsory council cared only about how many menhaden they could kill per day if certain restrictions were approved. and arc seemed to be angling toward a monopoly. seemed like many at the main table were only concerned about what they could harvest...not the well being of the stock.
