Heard it started out at$4.99when the season began..How close to the quota are they??? is the fishing still slow off shore?Cutting through all the bull #^&#^&#^&#^&,the canal has been slow for me..someone told me there was a big bite at the ditch?? A big bite is 30-40-keepers in a tide..probably all B.S.

Do you fish commercially? If not, which I think is the case, why do you want to know or care about the quota or price?

The data on the mass link is interesting. What I found surprising is that the quota for bluefish is nearly half that of stripped bass. I was expecting the inverse.

I'd be willing to bet its because there's less of a demand for blues.
Blues have been scarce for me this year. I've caught 5 so far and they were all really big and on the same trip.

You also stated that you needed an exact quote. If you were just curious, why did it have to be so precise ? Also, what happened to your quote in your profile?

What about the Avatar? Being a hunter, I know how hard it is to shoot one of those bastards. Put the Avatar back up, you should be proud of that pic, I know I would be.....

I'll never understand why they think any price on anything will hold if THEY FLOOD THE MARKET....10 fish per day is more then enough for anyone.And I don't want to hear crap about I can't make any money with that.

"YOU ****** UP

Herein a quote from some big ornery red headed guy I was talking to on the Canal last week (after he interestingly finished releasing a 20 ish lb. striper)...

"If you absolutely feel you have to sell a striped bass to make ends meet, then you screwed up..." I believe he is correct. The MA Commercial Striped Bass season is a political sop to fund your recreation abusing a valuable public resource. So, go ahead and sell your fish at less than $3.00 a pound to the fish buyers and the Industry who are your pimps.

At market prices of $15-17/lb. in the fish markets, this Industry isn't doing anything utilitarian (defn: the greatest good for the greatest number) for the "common man".

I fail to see how we're pimps. If you don't like the price don't fish. I can't be bothered to buy the fish when I'm selling for less than $4.

I'm not going to kill myself for no money.
