Increased enforcement because ASMFC has asked because advocates have been doing our thing because anglers are telling verifiable stories and makign them public
I thought thensystem didn;t work when it came to S-B...I know it's jsut a beginning but it is a begining...and a legal and real beginning at that

We'll see if the system actually works when the penalties are enforced *after* the appeal process.
Enforcement is fine and dandy, but if there is no significant monetary consequence (and just a slap on the wrist) then this is in no way a win.
Be impossible to tell what they were fishing for. Dump the bass and catch a couple of bluefish and you're home free.
Do blues and bass winter together in that area?
They could later send undercover agents on the boats they observe 'out of bounds' to see what their up to. Or maybe have agents meet the boats back at the dock to see whats in their boxes.
