This is the second recreational closure this season , now for every size category of bluefins

And they are claiming the quota was reached , yet the best 2 months of the Northern season around Massachusetts hasn’t even started yet .

This closure has nothing to do with actual landings .
It’s being pushed because the commercial buyers don’t want us catching fish at all above 47”
.
That is correct!
Thats the reason why its only closed to the recreational angler.
The commercial season remains open.
