Re: Sea Bass Closure
my postings have been about what the sea bass fishery in federal waters. from 3 miles and beyond. most of the bottom fishing boats that r catching sea bass now are mostly in state waters not federal waters i believe. it comes down to the data the noaa is using its been proven it is flawed. until they compile new data they will use the numbers from the flawed data. i pretty sure most of the sea bass caught are in the federal waters. that is why i talked about number of boats. num of passengers and how many times they go. if u do the math u will get an idea on whats caught in federal waters for sea bass landings. then looik, up 2 see what the quota is and bang u get an answer. yes noaa and nmfs are messed up govt organizations. i always thought that when i fished for giant bluefins for a living. many friends have since stopped fishing for them do to the bs of the fishery and i must say the people i know caught a majority of the bluefin quota. this just another slap in the face to all fisherman no matter if ur commercial or recreationalc ause the effect will be felt by everyone that fishes i said fishery.i might even be harder for some commercial guys cause of leguslature of removing pots from reefs. which i totally support but there r 2 sides 2 every story
