On the Webinar right now and the councils preferred option was 32 which is 3 fish at 18 inches or better from 5/4 - 9/25 which affords us the longest season.

Most every public comment supported option 32 as well, both written and at the meeting/webinar.

Great to see so many people made comments, the council mentioned this was the most comments they ever received and appreciated the public input.

Job well done and option 32 was chosen

Interesting that there was a good bit of discussion of splitting the state regulations up between north and south... Something I fully support since they are 2 totally different fisheries and the closer decisions are made to people, the closer the regulations will be to what the people want.

Tip of the cap to Dr Pat who kept us all informed here and to the staff at the state for a well run meeting all their work gathering an accounting for public opinion.
