NOAA sets fluke reduction harvest for 2016:

[Capt. Debbie]

Captain Ron stop making sense. You know this is the same old sh*t year after year no matter who's there.

That's why Trump is inexplicably leading.. he's not PC and honest. A politician will say anything at any time that suits their needs. Doesn't matter which party.. it's just same sh*t different day is all.

Pallone promises to work with OTHER members of the States delegation "For more favorable catch limits in the Future.........Wait a minute, many years ago when all this crap started, wouldn't today be the future they talked about? Hasn't he been working with Other delegate's in the past or is this just gonna happen now??

It's more Bullshit once again....if you think for a minute that anyone in the business isn't going to do what they have to do to survive, your nuts.
All those who have sat back on their ass all these years and did nothing but complain, will be the first one's typing how they can't believe all the Pirates out there! We will be made to look like criminals.

Once again, tossing back DEAD fish and killing the Breeders....Smart move NOAA. For the Millions of dollars this organization gets, you'd think they'd have it together by now. Justifying the Job or the Organization at the expense of the American people.

Screw all the science until after they show its not about them making money.

If any science fouled or not was used to make an actual determination of fish counts showed their wasnt a sustainable fishery ,
then why are they SELLING fish quota's of fluke 30000 pounds at a shot, to WHO EVER wants t buy them , thats the REAL question.

The second question would be when they are selling those quotas outside of our local waters to foriegn interests how they are enforcing those poundages arent exceeded

Is there a limit to the quota that's for sale? Because if there is, I would assume that cap is based off the data as well (flawed or not).

Now it's wait and see! Length of season, bag limit and size of fish! They got us where they want us! Sorry to say!

So can someone tell me this.....

1) If we are selling Fluke quota to domestic or foreign commercial interests, it should be public record and I'd like to see evidence.

2) If it's is in fact happening, are they sharing in our overall quota?

3) How are their catch limits being monitored ?

4) Where does that money go?

The factual answers to these questions are a total game changer to me. We need answers and proof.
