The only difference is comm is regulated by weights, rec is based upon a fish limit not a weight.
There for you are allowing rec guys to only take a max of 50% less fish.

NY regulates its commercial fishery on numbers, not pounds, too. Each commercial angler is given a set number of tags based on his/her historical landings, and NY has a comm slot limit. What people have to understand is that coast-wide, the commercial quota is spread out across the population. MA puts a premium on harvesting big fish with a 34" minimum size. 34" may be the maximum allowed size under a slot limit. MD allows the harvesting of 18" fish in the bay. |

Gill nets and pound traps up north. NC may still allow haul seining. Not sure. Thankfully, the movement to restore it on Long Island never prevailed, despite all of Billy Joel's benefit concerts.

The fishery is set up to exploit what fish are available to the comms in their area.....
you better believe that the MD guys would love to be catching 34" fish..... |

You do know that reason they set that 18" limit was to allow the harvest of male fish, that don't get too much bigger than that and DO NOT migrate out of the bay? |
