I'd have to goo option 2.

Not many haddock in state waters close to home for me. Nice to be able to keep 1 inshore cod while out getting macs to go live lining.

None really. Within 3 nm of Cohasset Scituate Marshfield in state waters you can get you 1 cod greater then 19" in late April, May, June in a few pulls dropping under the macs.

Not much maiming done to a cod with a #16 Sabiki with single hook 4 oz jig on the end.

I'm hoping for the sake of all GOM fishermen they go to a no possession limit.

I think it’s a joke you can keep them south of the 42 line but 0 North

And in Rhode Island you can pound the bejesus out of them when they are spawning. It doesn’t make sense

I was expressing my opinion WRT Guppy's post about COD in state waters. Which for option 2 in May would be open for 1 fish.

Not realizing that option 2 for HADDOCK closes for May for private anglers.

Gonna have to go with option 1 after re reading options. The fact that opt 2 for haddock would be open for for hire boats in MAY and not for private boats is absolutely criminal.

Federally licensed charter/party boats have to abide by the strictest rules, even when fishing in state waters. So for them there is no cod possession anytime, anywhere. So effectively they already have option 1. To penalize them if MA decides to give private boaters one cod wouldn't be fair.

Doubt cod will be viable for a long time if ever.

All on board with that.
Fished the back from 1978 to 2010.
Couldn’t deal with it anymore.
The fn bastards stole my soul.
I’d have no issues selling noses of the vermin.
