So this is incorrect?
Mid-Atlantic and Southern councils presented conflicting information, which NMFS needs to sort out while it ponders a long-term strategy. Meanwhile, recreational anglers will be limited to seven tilefish a day, a limit already in effect in Maryland and Virginia

This is from the article

First of all it is 7 fish per trip, not per day. Just wondering what if anything you did specifically regarding this issue. I ask this because the only reason we even have 7 fish per trip is because enough people called Sen Booker's office concerned over this issue. I noticed that there were no rec anglers besides myself at this past Tues night scoping meeting on bluelines. In fact there were only 2 captains there; Capt Jeff Gutman from the Voyager and Capt Jim Cicchiti from the Atlantic Star (Wildwood). None of the "famous" six pack tilefish charter boats bothered to show up.

You sound pretty bitter Dave. Not everyone shares your passion for tiles. I've sent my share of emails on this subject to th appropriate parties. I'm not really sure why you have a hard on for these 6 pack guys. Perhaps I misinterpreted your comments?

Speaking solely for myself... take a look at some of the recent pics from the 6 pack tile trips... many more photos like that and tiles will be on the endangered species list...

First off thank you Dave, Jeff & Jim for going. I would have been there it it were possible. Also thank you to those who called Bookers office. This seems like a sweeping and inappropriate over-reach of power especially w/out good local science to support such decisions.

How do the commercial guys catch enough tile to earn a living anyway. You hardly ever see it on a menu, is there enough demand somewhere? And how would you go about catching them commercially to begin with? Nets or by longlines?

They are paying fares and entitled to there catch. NJ rec anglers really don't put any significant pressure on tiles in our area. The reason for limit is the commercial fleets from other areas bring their catch in to NJ because we didn't have a limit. So all the fish they brought in were counted as caught in NJ and of course they can catch many more than their home port. That is my understanding.

It seems you have a bone to pick with people taking their legal limit...not sure why.

I'm well aware of why the emergency regs were put in place and how they are (supposedly) determined, including the commercial sector. My comment was one of sarcasm...

In this day and age I'll never understand the mentality of fishermen who keep all they can every time they can even if it's legal. I honestly don't think posting slaughter pics up on the web helps anyone's conservation efforts.

Did you not post pics of seabass and said you kept your limit? And then would we even need this website ? Since we should not post reports or pics? Sarcasm or hypocrite ?

I never said or implied it was wrong to keep some fish for consumption and yes, everyone is welcome to keep their legal limits as much as they want. My comments are clearly directed at posting "slaughter" type pics, not pics in general.

If you look at my pics, each one shows me holding 1 fish, not standing in front of 50. I hardly think keeping a limit of 8 seabass one time per season makes me a hypocrite.

Lastly, I'm not picking on 6 pack boats or captains for hire, my comments apply to anyone posting extreme pics.

A: Nothing wrong with taking your legal limit.

B: Deck shots of your legal limit?? If you put them up be prepared to defend yourself because people have varied opinions on those sorts of shots. It seems to be OK for Fluke or SeaBass but not for Stripers and Tiles?? I think the timing of the tile fish shots were taken offense to by some since we were at a very tender juncture given the decisions being made for the recreational tile fishery limits.

C: Don't care which side of this you are on but please keep your comments if you happen to be on the other side of it respectful or don't comment on it at all.

I realize people have opinions but they need to be stated respectfully or this site will go the way of others where anything goes and people come to be entertainment by the drama or to dump on or force their opinions on others.

I realize drama sells and creates traffic but that is not what we want here.

The great and powerful OZ has spoken :D

Probably should have posted some pics of Mrs/Mr Jenner here to offset me killing everyone's buzz on this post :rolleyes:
