As of July 26, the reported landings were up to 358,053 lbs. About 31% of the quota. |

this may be a dumb question... but i am very unfamiliar with commerc fishing. once caught, who do you sell to? or do you have to have that all lined up before you even head out.

you may sell to any dealer that is licensed with the state of massachusetts to buy striped bass. most wholesale fish markets hold permits to buy all species of fish landed in the state, but some have federal permits that allow them to buy from boats with federal multi-species permits.

$1.75 a pound for bass might have something to do with the lack of comm. guys out there

Would you say this might be because the market is flooded??...I know now that the hoger's are farming their bed's and dragger's are bring in 1000's of lb's of hog's a day,,they went from $.25 each to $.13 each.....keep the catch at a much lower daily amount an that will keep the price up.......folks can only eat just so much seafood in a given time frame.........seen it happen to tuna....monday the buyer's were paying say 50.00 a lb. ..come friday it was down to 3.00...fisherman flooded the market. |

WAS..market hit bottom...a glut has made them worth almost nothing now because the boats and farm's have brought in so many,,the market has no where to go with them......I just came from a fish market..bass $13.99 lb....bluefish $6.99..steamers $4.00...One thing fisherman will never do is get together and put a min. on what they bring in to controll price's...the price drops down,,they bring in more to keep their earning's the same as when they were getting good prices with less product.

That would be behind Last Years, I'd say the pounds are Down.
|
Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

571,791 lbs so far
that is halfway there.
I bet the updates are slow and behind.
maybe they landings are behind last years, but lots of stuff factors in as to why.
I hope we are all not killing too many of the larger breeding bass.
I was at that free for all in August of 2000, great fishing that day among the 200 boats on that ledge. We got our 2 fish and got the heck out of there not long afterwards.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

slip, that number is updated as of today.
and with the 34" size, big breeders are pretty much all they get.

It's been tough going for the Wareham/Mattapoiset/Fairhaven guys this week. Best I've heard so far was one guy with 15 fish yesterday.
Another guy ran all over CC Bay today and only marked a few fish that he couldn't get to hit. Said no evidence of bait in the places he tried.
