You can not have conservation when a fishery is allowed to drag up 20,000 ponds, keep 8,000 lbs. and throw back 12,000 lbs. dead every day and that is just one boat X how many boats per day. There had to be a collapse. Should have been shut down ten years ago.
Rumor has it that there is going to be about a 7 fish limit per angler of haddock and lowering the limit of cod to less then 10 per day per angler.
