Its a tough one to study... Comms kill 10%, Recs kill 90%... And SF is Blaming the Mass Coms...

The other part of the argument is that the recs represent 99.99% of the anglers and generate 90% of the economic impact. |

So you take out the comms , give the rec guys a bonus tag allotment, (Commercial quota 1.1 mil lbs) for an extra fish and you will have a healthy striped bass stock I take.... Who will you have to blame then???? I guess the 10% economic impact doesnt mean anything so just throw it out only rec guys should kill fish....

Trying to understand this economic impact.... If I take my clients out on a charter and the limit is 2 fish per man at 28", that will equate to 10 dead bass a trip...Now lets say you got the bonus tag like you do here in NJ its 15.... Im no mathmetician but if it were a 1 fish limit per man than thats 5 dead bass and results in far fewer fish killed recreationally and overall. The economic impact stays the same if they kill 5, 10, or 15 fish on a trip???? The more they kill the more thats given away to nieghbors or frozen and forgoten...
A 1 fish limit would reduce a 10 million pound catch to probably around 5 million.
Look, almost everybody I know that charters, or fishes recreationally KILLS their limit. The response I get is, "The law says I can kill two so Im Killing two"

I understand that...to some extent. However, I am not convinced that I should be able to keep a bass every day I fish, but someone else who doesn't fish can't go to a nice restaurant and get a bass fillet during a limited season. It is all about total numbers to me. Economic impact wise, having a healthy fish population is what is needed to keep recs fishing. Even if I could never keep a bass, I would still fish. Not the case for the commercial guys.
Stuff needs to be fixed, but cutting the commercials out doesn't seem to be necessary to me, but I am open to all points on this. I would actually be much happier to have a limited commercial season and not allow recs to keep fish over 40". |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
