Re: miles of adult bunker
While I realize bunker and fluke are mutually exclusive fisheries but Virginia's quota is 372 million pounds of a very important forage fish but no problem harvesting them since I'm sure there's significant funds involved for government somewhere in the process and it's all about commercial interests and lobbyists. BUT at the same time recreational guys are going to end up with a significantly reduced harvest of fluke. And by the way what are the bycatch numbers of bass killed when 441,000,000 pounds of bunker are netted by the reduction boats. We have NO representation with our fisheries management.
