Re: Sea Bass Closure
blackfish doug yes u do fish alot and i respect that, but what im saying is the offshore sea bass trips boats do in the winter 18hr trips. thats what i was talking about thats a complete different fishery than what most bottom fishing boats do day in and day out. and my numbers are just an estimate on what is caught on 18 hr sea bass trips never said it was correct data just an opinion on my part. it comes down to it noaa the asmfc and nmfs need 2 get their heads out of their respected asses and actually listen 2 REAL data from fishermen that catch said species. they screw us with regulations and closures based on bs data im sure u agree on that. they want real data so why dont they send observers on head boats 2 collect the data. they observe commercial vessels that way so why cant they do it with the party boats. im sure most party boats wouldnt mind having an observer on board unless they are breaking the law
