Re: Bluefin Tuna Retention Update
Lots of people sit on the sidelines because they think “ Why bother… Nothings going to change”.
Well, if you do nothing, nothing will change… Hats off to those who made some noise and made a difference!

Re: Bluefin Tuna Retention Update
Its sort of a middle ground. Im still not happy with it. One 27-47 & one 47->73 would be perfect. Give a chance to a crew of 5 to eat good sushi for a few days.
I dunno. I feel like we're being bamboozled. Satiated with a smidge back when they nearly took it all.
