What's done is done. It is in the books and we have to live with it for this season and pray to god it doesn't haunt us next year. Personally I voted for option 4 later start still before memorial day when majority of business picks up for party/charter boats, and went latest in year to bridge gap while other seasons were closed. I voted for option 4 because it was shorter than option two and had similar fall fishing options. I figured giving up few days in may would maybe help us not only keep from going over quota, and in return maybe let us have very similar season again the next year. Now we just need to wait and see the results on quota from this season, and hopefully be able to work to get it back next season. I think I am going to count how many 17.5-18 inch fish I catch and post only that in my fluke reports.

I don't understand the decision, and won't ask why because I do not feel like you will get a straight answer. Kind of smells like its to political if you catch my drift.
