The most restrictive option was 1 fish @ 32" - no 1 @ 36 option is in the cards

Yes - 2 fish - my assumption is that it was heavily influenced by the sizeable # of charter and boaters i their membership

This is the exact reason I quit RISSA years ago. Steve Mederous has always been on the charter boat Capts side.
I couldn't make the meeting as I was on a redeye from Rome and didn't land in the Charlotte until 9:45 AM yesterday. Home at 1:00 PM. Dead! No sleep on the redeye with a screaming 18 month old in the row in front of us all the way across the "pond". I also emailed and snail mailed.

No boat, back in the suds.

I thought the DEM folks were both informative and receptive.

Not surprising and pathetic.

I thought that Charlie on the Snappa, one of the few charter guys who was honest about the stripers numbers, had some excellent things to say, things that I'm sure didn't make him too popular this morning down on the Point Judith charter docks.

I agree - Charlie and the group of charter captains from Block were the only for hire boats supporting a 1 fish bag. RISAA, as well intended as they are, are basically a vehicle of the "for hire" industry. I really wasn't that surprised by their stand - their consensus on issues is almost always for the advantage of the boating fishermen.

Goose may want to help me out on this. I believe Charlie mentioned that we all need to make concessions in this case including the charter industry. Zach Harvey read a statement from a group of about 6 charter boats (Hula Charters, Chris Willi of BI Fishworks, and a few more) on Block who couldn't make the meeting. The BI group all supported a one fish bag at 28 inches to be institued in the one year time frame.
