Re: Black Sea Bass Discard Mortality seminar, Sept. 25, 7:00 PM, Rutgers Coop Extensi
I agree its nothing like the winter fishery of years ago, especially here in NJ (i.e., some other states opted to participate in a Wave 1 - January and February black sea bass fishery last year). But, black sea bass are caught and released not only during the directed fishery when the season is open here in NJ in November and December, but also during other deepwater (>100 feet) fisheries both as the target species and non-target species when pursuing other species such as porgies, cod, pollock, or tilefish. The topics covered in this seminar will have relevance to these other fisheries as well.
Terry: Great to hear from you! I hope all is well and that I see you later this month.
Thanks,
Doug
