We should have a poll too.

My concern is that as I understand it, fish not "taken" as part of a state's allocation can be given back to ASMFC and redistributed to other states.

I'm really not sure on this but would like to see if anyone knows.

How should the poll be worded

1 @ 36" coast wide would be alright with me, problem is all the states are not on the same page, too much greed.

The way it works is by coastwide quotas, so if any state adopts stricter regulations than 2 at 28 (or the conservational equivalent) it may reduce the total take. Of course it would also leave room for the states that use the 2 @ 28 to catch more fish.
