The sea bass regs are still up in the air. The options will probably not be ready for this Thursday's meeting as originally anticipated. This is due in part to the recent 1/2 million lb. increase that was approved by the ASMFC for the recreational sector less than two weeks ago. We were looking at a 42-53% reduction but now it will be a 32% reduction. That will cause us to have a greatly reduced season unless the size limit is raised to 13". My best gues is that there will be a mid season closure either way. It will be much shorter if we raise the size limit though. Most of us support the mid-season closure so that it can re-open and we will be able to fish for sea bass after fluke season closes.

I don't support this at all remember last year we got screwed major. They said Mass went over their quota like they probably will do again & who gets the shorter end of the stick we do. Last year Fluke closed & Sea Bass fishing never opened. I don't think most of the Sea Bass fisherman support this at all not after last year.
