The draggers have to be smiling from ear to ear. Imagine how great they will feel about being able to drag all of the near-shore high pieces through all of September and October without having to spend extra money for fuel. They can fill their fluke trip quotas without having to go out of sight of land. We can all watch them fill their nets with fluke as we bend our rods on those 10" scup.[/QUOTE]

They are only allowed 250 pounds a day with a max of 6 landings a week or 750 pounds limit for 2 times a week week or 1,500 pounds once a week do the math that's an awful lot of money were talking after expenses and I'm not even sure if their seasons open either & don't think that those nets are full as you say there are days where they are working very long hours to reach their limit try working a commercial boat for 1 day & you will see it quite differently
