12 fish X two trips=24 fish

2 more fish each for skipper and mate=4

24+4=28

I Strongly believe in having the OPTION of taking 2 FISH per Day!!!

28" +


Shame on those who do not eat some of the fish they catch, yet will eat store bought fish!!! ....LAZY azzz bastuds.

Yes, I EAT fish.....lots of it. I have bass in the freezer now, and hope to add some Tog to it as well

Nothing wrong eating stripped bass, but some degree of conservation has to be practiced. Remember the 80's?
Also, a friend went out in a group of 5 this summer on a charter to BI; each man on the charter caught his limit totalling 10 bass, and the captain retained two extra bass. At the dock the captain gave his fish to his clients, creating a situation that's wasteful and no doubt illegal, given that the clients walked away with more than the limit.

Hoping it will prevent guys from high-grading 28" fish and killing multiples.

No commercial season.

No fishing in spawning areas just before or during spawning season.

Earmark license funds to protect spawning habitat and step up fisheries enforcement.
