Last springs Whale back closure was a big joke... it only succeded in taking the rec. and party boat/charted fleet out of the equation... I normaly fish about 3 miles inside of ( before it) the N/W edge of the closed area and do quite well( all alone while dozens of boats battle it out on the spawning grpunds) .. i watched several draggers that were awarded that sector drag the edges... all around. they got them going in and coming out.. my little piece of ground was producing nicely until they moved in. in one night it went from fruitfull to barren... not even the dog fish were left..
It's enough to make honest law abiding fisherman to say "screw it" and apply the me catch 'em .. me keep 'em attitude... when they see the waste that is granted one particular user group..or throw back fish too small for us to keep but big enough for them to keep... the same size limits should apply.
