bdowning Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 So they are suggesting no rec gaffing at all? Wont affect me, but thats bound to rile up a few ppl. Why move the comm opening date back to june 1? So they have a better chance at filling the quota this year? Did they even fill it last year?

Gwiz Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 If we are truly in a decline. Which I belive we are. Why are we still having a commercial season. To me it makes no sense. Plus I think the slot should not be above 30". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StickinLips Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 So in order to protect the resource the comm season is going to be longer? That seems counter productive imo. I guess as usual money drives decsions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this year they want a longer season which could potentially create a larger harvest than last year so no reduction at all. WTF is wrong with these fisheries managers.

Angler #1 Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 The above rules show some real brain damaged g folks are making up these regulations. I give you the no gaffs for just recreational only, why not for both no gaffs with the same requirements. Eliminating the clip fin is another loser for the resource. as is opening the commercial earlier . Its not over yet, but hopefully when the rules are in stone they will make mode sense then they do now Life member M.B.B.A #509 Life member Izaak Walton Fishing Association Life member Cape Cod Canal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
