Most likely the 50 - 60 ground fish charters that I do alone each season, along with the other many other charter and headboats have done in the past will no longer be.

Wow that Jane lady collapsed fully rebuilt stocks in less than 4 years? Sorry to hear that. How much did they increase the landings over 8 years ago to be able to collapse a "rebuilt and healthy stock" in less than 4 years? Wow and I thought the last few years had lower landings , bag limits, seasons, limited entry and total TAL. I know the recs and commercial guys have been screaming the last 4 years over restriction but now I read that Jane is responsible for collapsing a healthy rebuilt fishery and she was able to do it in less than 4 years wow.
