Mike, I'm not really sure how you're calling me jealous here. I am, as you described it, part of the "more southern cod fisherman" as I have really only targeted them off Block sailing out of RI or CT.

O.K. maybe jealousy wasn't the motivation, but you clearly suggested that the limits should be stricter than they are south of 42.20. That does all of the anglers fishing aouth of 42.20 a disservice. One of the things we all agreed on at the RAP meeting, and you can confirm this with Mike Pierdnock, is that recreational fishermen shouldn't be fighting with each other for more stringent regs.
If you really wanted to point out the folly of the haddock closure you should have pointed to the fact that the recreational haddock quota went from about 2 million pounds in 2017 to over 7 million pounds in 2018, and we didn't get a single fish out of that increase.
