Dogfish Quota

I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen this already....

Fishermen get 5.6 million pound dogfish increase - Boston.com

A good thing, no?

I heard Zeus Packing Inc in Gloucester buys them and ships to Europe. Wonder if they only buy from Commercial guys or if they buy from rec. fishermen as well. Good way to make some extra bait money!!

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery

There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965

Are you sure it is not a misprint: wish it was 56 million pounds?

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Well england uses them for "Fish and Chips" if you're ever over there, and think your munching on a nice piece of fried cod.... nope lol.

I saw the biggest fattest cormorant the other day. in fact im not even sure it was a cormorant becuase it had a giant white spot on its breast. but it dove and then flew away just like one. And some of the schoolies we were catchin had big battle scars that looked to be from that bastard.

last year i donated a redfin to a tangled up cormorant in my line. not fun, shoulda broke his neck and defeathered him instead of lettin em go

It will help some but there are more dogs then anything else in the Ocean. Last year during the summer that was almost all would catch on the Partyboats up here in the Gulf of Maine. Fished the summer out on Georges banks and they were all over. This past winter they were all over the cod grounds off Block Island. In other words they were EVERYWHERE

You can't sell fish recreationally. it's called poaching
