Thats not what anyone here is saying. We're saying the regulations, collectively, need tweaking in order to sustain and improve things longer term.
Half the time Numbskull doesn't even have hooks on his plugs, so don't go by what he says...

It's not the bait

Back Beach How can you say that?? Its exactly what its about Stripersforever is attempting to shut down Mass commercial. Refer to first post......Its write there in the article, go to the website... They want to shut down mass commercial fishing entirely and give the recs one guy? How would you like if it was both, make mass just like the eez??? Comon...

"Tweaking" to me would be lowering the recreational daily bag to one fish and implementing a slot limit or larger minimum size if its deemed necessary. This can be accomplished without introducing game fish status and banning commercial sale.
"Tweaking" could also include more restricive measures such as a lower commercial quota and larger minimum size if its deemed necessary. Although I dislike some of what takes place as a result of having a commercial season, it does provide income for some who honestly rely on it.

Cowhunter the Quota was in fact increased coast wide for Bluefish and Spiny dogfish I believe last spring maybe that had something to do with it. I did see large blue fish this year. However in General it was down in quantity of fish. The Blues still did the traditional morning Run at Race Point and I saw plenty of them along the Rocks in Rhody, but the blues were not as prevalent in the past through the dog days. No doubt.
