If someone turns the NMFS bumper sticker into a T-shirt - let me know. I'll take 2.

Nebe the dogfish are destroying the cod stocks actually but... If any of yall fished cod daily on the cape ya would know that you cant run through the water without the dogs bouncing of the hull they are up there so thick after the cod.... The fisheries managment on this coast is a joke if they just gave each boat a weight limit " quota" all good oh well what do i know... And BIG JAY ask and you shall recieve bro....

i read that the reason the nmfs has been so far off with the dogfish is because they use data collected from "bottom" trawl scientific observations, and do not take into account mid-water or surface numbers.
but can they really be that incompetent ?

This was a joke right??? Like seriously you are being sarcastic??? They been Incompitent since 1976.. The Dogfish thing is caues they are a protected species lol... So now they are regulated to whats NMFS says is safe catch... Well here is an Idea they should try to long line for Cod... and watch the dogs take the cod and Haddock off the lines...
