I'm usually the last one to condone commercial fishing but I see nothing wrong with this at this time of season.

Set horsepower and landing limits. Keep it open to more local boats, the guys doing day trips and such. Keep it away from the pair trawlers landing 600K lbs every 36hr.... |

RIROCKHOUND, You're right on the money. Restrict the horsepower, time and territory closures that make sense, keep the fish for the local fleet whenever possible and stop the squeeze on the little guy.
DZ, the impact of even a pretty savvy angler such as this one, doesn't add up to a hill of beans, even if there were 500,000 anglers doing this it wouldn't equal what one MWPT does...and there is a fleet of them doing it day after day after day.

Exactly.
Just an observation, you really should get involved in fisheries mgmt -you always seem to see right through the BS and are spot on with these things (even when we don't agree). |

RIMFC Tautog advisor panael (alternate to Rockhound Sr). I try to go to the public meetings at Corless when I can, but I have enough to do as a half-assed geologist... |
