Not to many private boats in water and or fishable days in Feb anyway. Plus who cares, nobody listens to us anyway.

Yes you’d think since they reported the stocks to be at an all time high and fully rebuilt, they’d throw us a bone and let us have some extra days in Feb plus what we had last year... Although it could eventually work out that way, there is no way of knowing since they don t have all the landing data for this year yet. So, do you roll the dice and open it up in Feb and risk having to take days away in the Spring or do you not risk it.
The MRIP numbers they use to estimate recreational landings are all over the place and most everyone aggrees are suspect or even unbelievable. Until those methods are changed it’s what we’re stuck with...
