purse seining
I made my first trips to CCBay this year for BFT's, and (unbelievably) managed to catch a coupla fish each trip. since then, I've followed some of the sites that are active in that fishery, and have listened to complaints about the purse seiners over-working the giants inside CCB. I've heard there was always a quiet agreement amongst the rec/comm guys that the seiners wouldn't work inside the Bay too-
but I've heard reports of 75 Giant BFT's being captured by this boat since it started fishing the area.....seems like alot to me(?)
then I came across this at another site
Dir. Paul Diodati has put the topic of a ban on purse seiners on the agenda at a meeting this Thursday Oct. 11 at 11am at the Weston Public Library, 87 School St., Weston, MA. The Massachusetts Fisheries Advisory Council will likely vote on this issue depending on attendance. I urge everyone to be there who can. We need to fill the room. You won't have to speak just show support.
Directions: From Rte. 128, take Rte.20 west. Travel just over 1 mile to the first set of lights. Go Left on School St. The library is about 250 yards on the right.
again- I don't know much about this fishery, except I caught a few fish this summer, and wanna be able to continue to do so....
I can't make the meeting (Long drive from CT)- but thought others might like to know.
