Only two category/classes of fish were over-quota; 1) long-line and 2) recreational for lg/med/small school. We may see a higher % of fish in the 73"+ range, which will be tougher to land for many recreational anglers and will put more fish in the one/year "trophy" range. It will be interesting to see how that effects matters.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

In addition to this data,a great number of recreationally caught BFT go unreported. Some are lazy and don't report, some don't know they have to report, some figure if they don't report then the season lasts longer.
If this data is correct no doubt big changes are coming. Talking with a local tackle shop owner there are more than a few people holding off on buying gear set-ups until new rule changes come out.

It would be nonsense to close the recreational fishery. If that idea gets thrown around, then the commercial quota should be decreased to preserve a one fish per day take for recs. |
