Personally I'm hesitant about anything that takes food off peoples plates. Period.

I'm just wanting to see them take any action sooner than later. They know there's a decline and they've basically put it on the backburner for 2-3 years and some dude today wanted to pass a motion to not do anything until 2018 or so then asked for another 2-3 years and see where we're at then type of thing.

I dont like the feet dragging, if the actual "real science" not lets probability forward.... says there's a problem take measures now to alleviate it not in 2018. (further in decline causing more issues) Thats just a leave it for someone else to fix mentality.

I'm all for a better managed species/stock/biomass that works ok for everyone.

25 - 30% stock reduction .is that across the board .

that would be almost doable with the commercials in RI & mass ........each bass has to be tagged individually & recorded .

black market //another unknown

25 -30 % of the rec.s ??????????????? WTF knows what that is & HTF would it be controlled or even estimated .

last year it was suppose to happen in 2015 . they will push this til it TOOOOOOOOOO late for 2015 .


I,d love to have just 1% on the monies put in peoples pockets & lobbyist fees .

we think its tough up here ...........TRY NJ, Maryland & the Carolina,s that another whole world .........................its like moonshining in the year 2014 ><><>

the rec side is always more difficult- to try to know how many guys are fishing, and how many fish those guys are taking home. the only feasible way is to make rule changes that would have the statistcial effect of reducing the mortality by using the accepted figures in the current stock assessment.

is it perfect- no way.
is it the best we've got- unfortunately yes
