You're comment assumes those fish haven't been mopped up by the commercial sector as has been mentioned more than a few times on this site

And I still don't understand how two options with a 30% and 40% reduction in fishing efforts results the same projected catch reductions as 3 fish at 18" and a 145 day season. Makes zero sense and lesser weight for fish a 1/2 inch or inch smaller is not enough to explain these statistics.

This won't be the day to ask questions like that. Currently we have 70 people signed up to comment on webinar, plus an expected crowd in person. That will allow for 1 minute per person. this will allow for 2+ hours of public comment before Council begins deliberations. If you submit a question via email it will be answered

On the Webinar right now and the councils preferred option is 32 which is 3 fish at 18 inches or better from 5/4 - 9/25 which affords us the longest season.

Most every public comment supported option 32 as well, both written and at the meeting/webinar.

Great to see so many people made comments, the council mentioned this was the most comments they ever received and appreciated the public input.

Job well done and option 32 was chosen!

Guess depends on how much the fishery means to you .
Guys drove there from Pa , I know when I lived west of Clinton I still made that drive .
Was many guys there from 2 hours away or more

Webinar seemed to run well , but that hasn’t always been the case .
.

It has been asked that they get a more central location .
But being within an hour of where most northern guys fish didn’t make it that bad.
