MA DMF...here is clear evidence they are biased.

As if closing the scup season will stop my little white rod-wielding buddies from poaching...gimme a break. The 6 legal sizers I would take home to eat would probably have very little impact, along with everyone elses legal fish. Are they trying to make EPOs' jobs easier by just closing the scup season so as not to confuse anyone?

Fisheries managment is a joke.Comms sit on the boards an smirk at the meetings when they open things up for public opinion.they close the rec.an increase the comm take.I remember when they put a 50 fish limit on em it was just to monitor the stock.now we have a 4 month season.The ASMFC is one of the most currupt agenencies in politics.an they have been getting away with this crap for yrs.its amazing.It in a nutshell is whats wrong with this country. when special intrest groups an the financial contributions to pols.call the shots.It really turns my stomach. This is a fish for the people if the rec take is good an the commercial take down why not let the people take some more.....Ur talkin bout scup here....
