They slapped limits on blue lines at 3 pp from May thru Oct. Now there's limits on goldens of 8 pp year round. I expect that year round part to get smaller, and the creel to shrink to 5, then 3, etc.
Many times tiles have saved offshore trips when I fished with my dad. Continued decreases in creel and season will make that harder and harder.

The Mid Atlatic Council is diverse now including myself and those from the recreational and for hire sectors. We are totally ignoring MRIP data BTW and encouraging use of this new methodology as interest in tilefish is growing especially in May before sea bass and before ocean fluke is an option. -Lido
