After thinking about the options, as a private boater #2 or 5 are the most viable. #2 longer season, larger limit, enjoy the lack of pressure in September and October works for me. But on the other side #5 is probably the best overall option for the party and charter boats. More people taking home dinner, means more repeat customers, equals more money.

The tackle shops and rental boats will probably do more with #5 as early season bay fisheries consist of more smaller fish early on, and bigger fish in September. Either option is a giant step from where we thought we would be before SSSFF got involved!

Wish I could attend but a 4PM meeting just doesn't work on a work day, give them hell and let us know the results.
