I may have to try skate wings and sea robin filets this year....... never thought I would resort to eating bait:eek:

Re: Jcaa alert - pots off the reefs and fluke
 

Sea robins are not bad at all.

Re: Jcaa alert - pots off the reefs and fluke
 

Skate wings are even better.

If it's that bad they should close the commercial fishery. What are the chances they ever do that?

Re: Jcaa alert - pots off the reefs and fluke
 

Why is it that the Recreational fisherman and Party/Charter boat Captains are always the ones on the front lines fighting these terrible regulations? What about the big companies that sell bait,lures,reels, boats electronics etc etc fighting this with lobbying to preserve this industry and their businesses. They have the BIG bucks and have millions to lose. Either there heads are in the sand or they are moving on to something else cause this sport is going to disappear fast if it continues the way things are going.

2 fish @ 19" is ludicrous and would force a lot of people to spend their money at the fish market than on a party boat

MAMFC meeting on Summer Flounder starts at 1:30. I believe if you go on the MAMFC website under council meetings you can listen on Webinar as a quest.
