Lots of moving parts here Dan...Keep the faith, stay informed, share your opinions with others and sooner or later, the cream rises to the top.

Not for nothing Gerry, but we have decreased the quota and increased the size limits for 19 years, it hasn't worked according to "their" data, what makes you think it will change? Which moving parts will stop the insanity? Just saying.

The Science study being done by the SSFFF and reviewd by NMFS could shed additional light on a slot fish. Meanwhile on the Political side, we have bill HR1335 on the table to reform Magnuson.
reform the Magnuson act to give fisheries management

I'm sorry, but even someone with a blind eye sees that all of the community's "efforts" that have been made regarding fisheries management have gone literally nowhere. Year after year, lawmakers have been taking away from us, little by little, and now we're faced with basically the bear minimum in terms of what we can take. The next thing is complete closure - just like cod up in New England.

We've been patient, we've seen NO progress. That's the bottom line.
