I'm pretty sure they banned J hooks in the Gulf and those guys aren't hurting. They have the right mindset down there when it comes to conservation...

Don't they have a pretty good management system down there though? Unlike the impotent ASMFC.
I'd imagine the ban on J hooks down there is just one part of a broader, more effective approach to conservation.
Where as our regulators have an approach of "what is the maximum we can allow them to take before the striped bass stocks collapse?" Conservation isn't part of the regulatory mentality up here... it's not a part of many fishermen's mentality either though. |

Yes, the whole system, mentality is very pro-active down there. A lot of the regs wouldn't fly with the fishermen up here. BTW, I agree with most of what you've said...

so many issues , when i fish live bait i use nothing but circle hooks with great success but a circle hook not fished properly will cause more damage , bigger issues are trawler bycatch , poaching breaders prespawn , omega killing every pogie that swims , comm fishing highgrading , ect. , that said i am in favor of a 1 fish limit but how about some help on the larger issues .

Give up ALL hooks.......
And say hello to "Down-easter hand-fishing"!
It can be done from shore or from boat!
Find breaking fish and jump on in!!!
Seems like addressing the hook aspect now is like closing the barn door after the horse has gone, and the barn has burned down!
I also like the "bandaid on severed limb: comparison too!

Would be nice if there were real fishermen on the DMF advisory board so that some effective steps towards managing the fishery would be put on the table... Who are these people and what are their qualifications? Scientists? Political appointees? What is their agenda? This is the best they can come up with? If this were a corporation that answered to shareholders, the advisory board would be out on their azzes with this proposal.....

I believe you will see a more restrictive catch limit next year. Rumors are flying. I'm thinking 1 fish but they will keep it at 28" for the masses that don't know how to fish.
