Default Re: Sea Bass Update 3/5/13

A post from last year remember this & this is what I'm talking about. Go for that fall season & see if this does happen again. I'm all for the fall season it makes sense but the NMFS will come out with this again & you can count on it like death & tax's.

Here is the official notice from NMFS:

Effective Date: November 1, 2012
The 2012 black sea bass recreational harvest limit has been reached. Effective 0001 hours,
November 1, 2012, no one may fish for or possess black sea bass in Federal waters for the
remainder of the 2012 calendar year, unless issued a commercial moratorium permit and fishing
commercially. This closure also applies to vessels issued a Federal party/charter permit fishing
in state waters.
