Re: If Ling go down???
Here is the deal, most of those stocks of fish are healthy with the exception of the winter flounder.
You see the problem is Whiting that we used to catch in our waters are the Hudson Canyon Stock. Now with all the commercial fleets offshore they don't allow the whiting stock to overflow back into our waters during winter months same with the mackerel.
They were loading up on Mackerel about a week and a half ago by the Hudson Canyon.
I don't mind local commercial boats that bring fish to our local economy, what i don't like are the Mid-Water boats that are owned by corporations that have giant lobbies working in their favor.
I want to cut the fleet in half and cut their quota by half, then you will see those two fisheries come back to our waters within 2 years it will be crazy.
But good luck going up against them.
