NMFS Reccomended BLueline Tilefish Regs
http://www.mafmc.org/newsfeed/2016/f...e-mid-atlantic
Seems that they know nothing about the stocks so time to manage them?? At least in this case recreationals got more quota then the commercials. Recreational limits are: For the recreational fishery, the Council recommended an open season from May 1 to October 31, when blueline tilefish are available to most anglers throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Recreational bag limits would be set at 7 fish per person for inspected for-hire vessels, 5 fish per person for uninspected for-hire vessels, and 3 fish per person for private vessels. In addition, the Council recommended mandatory permitting and reporting of golden and blueline tilefish for both for-hire and private recreational fishing in order to develop better information on recreational tilefish landings in the Mid-Atlantic. Looks like there will be a meeting for public comment: The public will have an opportunity to comment on the measures recommended by the Council during the comment period associated with the NMFS proposed rule. Publication of the proposed rule is expected this summer.
