closures are based on scientific data, no matter how out dated or incorrect the data it is...not pictures on the web.

It seems you have a bone to pick with people taking their legal limit...not sure why.

I don't think he has a bone to pick just think he was making a point trust me i'm no tree huger i'm an eater but if you don't think all those pics of tiles and cockpit shots of 150 sea bass doesn't have some kind of impact on the decision making i think many have to disagree i'm all for self promoting but in some cases it might be doing more harm than good... over the rail and in the pail!!!!

this is just blane dumb,now no pictures.pics have always been and always will be a part of the fishing experience.every boat site has a "photo" section.and to pick on the "six pack"boats is not right either.there are allot of good capts here that make a living like the rest of us,working hard. they are sponors of this site.look no one is happy with the way our fish management is being done
here in nj.

I'm well aware of why the emergency regs were put in place and how they are (supposedly) determined, including the commercial sector. My comment was one of sarcasm...

In this day and age I'll never understand the mentality of fishermen who keep all they can every time they can even if it's legal. I honestly don't think posting slaughter pics up on the web helps anyone's conservation efforts.

Did you not post pics of seabass and said you kept your limit? And then would we even need this website ? Since we should not post reports or pics? Sarcasm or hypocrite ?

OK just want to clear the air here......

A: Nothing wrong with taking your legal limit.

B: Deck shots of your legal limit?? If you put them up be prepared to defend yourself because people have varied opinions on those sorts of shots. It seems to be OK for Fluke or SeaBass but not for Stripers and Tiles?? I think the timing of the tile fish shots were taken offense to by some since we were at a very tender juncture given the decisions being made for the recreational tile fishery limits.

C: Don't care which side of this you are on but please keep your comments if you happen to be on the other side of it respectful or don't comment on it at all.

I realize people have opinions but they need to be stated respectfully or this site will go the way of others where anything goes and people come to be entertainment by the drama or to dump on or force their opinions on others.

I realize drama sells and creates traffic but that is not what we want here.

The great and powerful OZ has spoken

Probably should have posted some pics of Mrs/Mr Jenner here to offset me killing everyone's buzz on this post

I never said or implied it was wrong to keep some fish for consumption and yes, everyone is welcome to keep their legal limits as much as they want. My comments are clearly directed at posting "slaughter" type pics, not pics in general.

If you look at my pics, each one shows me holding 1 fish, not standing in front of 50. I hardly think keeping a limit of 8 seabass one time per season makes me a hypocrite. I also find it amusing how no one is referencing that I released all of the porgies stating that a few seabass was more than enough meat to feed my wife and I.

Lastly, I'm not picking on 6 pack boats or captains for hire, my comments apply to anyone posting extreme pics.
