Default Re: Hook and Line Permits
Everyone has to earn a living. It would be nice if the recreational fisherman wasn't always getting the short end of the stick though.

If the season is open within state waters for pin hookers, then it should be open for recreational fishermen also. and if said commercial fishermen are in state waters then they should have to abide by the same size limit as the recreational guys.

Is the permit for ONE MAN in ONE BOAT to catch 400# per day? THAT would be a good day, even keeping 14" fish. If it's per boat............3 or 4 guys pulling.........at the Bug Light, this time of year.........HOME FOR LUNCH















I'd LOVE to see an ACCURATE account of how many WINTER flounder are caught/harvested in 2010. With no one fishing for them recreationally........the numbers have to be 90% commercial.
