Keep in mind that neither the size limit nor the circle hook requirement apply to the commercial fishery.

As for the 18% commercial reduction, less than 70% of the MA quota was filled this year so an 18% reduction from the allowed quota would have had (and likely will have) no effect at all on the number of large fish killed by the commercial fishery in this state.

The RIPCBA is working on getting a CE proposal together according to a post I read today on Facebook. They went on record as wanting status quo in the public comments, which I can understand the argument behind (not saying I agree or disagree with it personally) based on the difference in the inshore vs Block Island fishery.
