Must be going to give them to another country as a political perk .

Would think there are much more important things this administration needs to work on .

This is from an administration that thinks 6 dollars a gallon for gas is a good thing. When will it stop? They don't care how many people they put out of business.

Boy thats unexpected... Porgy fishing was down some last year, was it not?... I could be wrong on that ,,, but a total ban?


Seems a bit extreme to me, However extreme is the byword for the lunatics in power at this time.

So i suppose, they would be limited to fishing a maximum 3 miles out... Any pieces that hold porgies within 3 miles would get wiped out fast thats for sure, and then what?... punt I guess.. More pressure on Fluke. The bottom boats need something to fish for...

Please correct me if I’m wrong….however OTHER than large party boats heading out to deep water wrecks in the fall and winter, does anyone fish for porgies in Federal water? In NJ, every wreck or pile is well within 3 miles of the beach. In NY, porgies are currently being caught in the Sound and in the bays.
While I hate this proposed legislation, because I do head out deep in the winter, one potential advantage would be to allow more to breed, driving more towards shore in the spring and summer.

85% of the porgies caught are well outside the 3 mile line .
And the ones being caught there are dinner plate size , not the small 10-12” fish .

.
And it may go from a fully open season at 50 fish per day to closed ?

There is no doubt that fishery is looking to be recommissioned to someone else .
