Slot Limit - Revised

[hq2]

As always, the regs are chasing a receding tide. They usually wind up doing what they should have done a few years before, and when they finally get them in it's too late to stop further loss of the fishery, so then they have to tighten them up yet again. At this point, I've pretty much resigned myself to never seeing good SB fishing in my lifetime fishing window. I'm guessing it would take a decade for the fishery to recover with any kind of reasonable measures, and by that time I'll be too old to bother. At least, like a lot of people on this board, I have many happy memories during the restoration about 15 or 20 years ago. Will have to fish for something else in the coming years.

NOT GONNA GET INTO TO THIS ITS A NO WIN FOR ANYONE ONE



BUT 2022 RI commercial season was only 10 day / 10 days

then the commercials / do not fish again for bass unless there are a few left over on the quota later in the year . some R&R will go to mass to fish the MA season . otherwise the majority of the commercial will not fish for them again ...UNLESS >> they have a commercial fin fish license &&&&&&&&&& a charter license ......... that still won,t equal a rec season for many recs ;

IF there was anything that should be changed is what isn,t talked about .. having a charters license & R&R commercial license <><
...................... getting paid & getting paid .................. I see 6 pack boats where I,m fishing & then I see the captain selling at the dealers ...... different trips .....don,t think so ><<
