Cant wait to see the numbers they will say recs caught in the month of Sept. when everyone was blown out for most of the month. I agree a rod and reel can never harm a fishery. Take a draggers nets when the doors dig in or the roller gear. Mesh size of nets dont have a conscious. Once the back of that net gets clogged with keepers and junkfish everything else is killed by sheer suffocation. Quota filled, shovel back all the dead without discrimination. Yet a rod and reel can catch a limit and quit fishing. Nets arent that smart. Rod and reel - lets start at a 50/50 shot. get a bite miss it. Draggers no miss. Get another bite, miss it. Draggers dont miss. The fish doesnt like your offering doesnt like it, doesnt take a second look, swims away. Draggers - no bait no miss. So you can sell the BS that rod and reel can compare. Add up all their tows and the days they are out while most are tied to the dock, it will never compare. We take this BS of cuts YOY, the recs do their part and yet some still look to give back,lol. Yea right.... Bridge for sale any interest.
