Default Re: Sea Bass Closure

The way I understand this is the closure is not because of overfishing.Capt Adam can explain this much better than I.



Nobody loves jiggin up them offshore seabass more than I.Its gonna be a long winter without it.I do it for fun but the charter/party boat guys do it for their livelihood.

What really gets me is its recreational only.Now the commercial pots are sitting on OUR REEFS that OUR tax dollars paid for and we cant fish there only the commercial pots can.Im not against commercial fishing but once again were really takin it up the a$$ here.Until we organize like the commercial guys do and spend the time and money to hire the lawyers to prove how ridiculous their scientific methods are we'll continue to take it in the can.Send youre checks and speak up to the RfA and JCAA or this is only the beginning.
