High hopes that we have 3 more years of good YOY reports.

I know that this is a good thing, but I think everyone was getting ready for a big change in size and bag limit for next fishing season. A change that most of us would have been excited for, A keeper size somewhere in the low to mid 30" and one fish per angler type of thing. I am nervous that these YOY findings will change what was most likely going to happen.

I'll bet you right now that the proposed 40% mortality reduction gets shelved. |

Mike I really hope you're wrong. This is a good YOY but we will not see these fish , even at 16" schoolies for 4 years. They will not reach 20# until 2022 or 2023. A 36" fish is estimated to be 12 years old and that's about 20#.
The time to mitigate the losses is now not "close the barn door after the horse is stolen." |
No boat, back in the suds.

Couldn't agree more, Paul. But, if you remember back when---one good YOY index, in 1989, was enough for them to lift the moratorium. You can bet your bottom dollar that the charter industry and the commercials will be fighting any reduction tooth and nail now. |
