A few thoughts on the public comment meeting
I went to the meeting at Mass maritime tues.
Should of been more people there.
Not a good outlook going forward. Dr. Armstrong referenced a few times, “ The train is coming.”
Beyond bad recruitment over 5 years due to the egg and larvae just can’t survive in the Chesapeake anymore. Lots of factors beyond our control or too difficult to change.
Seems like the reduction proposals are just to give us a few years of fishing before the reality hits.
This year I’ve caught hundreds of bass from canal, monomoy, and all over cape. Boat and shore, doubt ten were under 20 inches. Not looking good for my upcoming retirement years. Hopefully Blues and Albies take up the void.
I am getting LMB gear together just in case.
