"Heins is a life-long angler who has worked fairly and skillfully with both sectors of New York’s fisheries. After 29 years of service, he recently retired from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. Heins has a proven track record of working with the New York fishing community to build consensus and achieve management and policy decisions that are in the best interest of fisheries resources and the people who depend on them".

Not much info here but just enough to be skeptical.

When I see "New York" and "Environmental Conservation"......be afraid....very afraid. JMHO

I agree it's always best to wait n see , not much develops overnight however that being said I'm skeptical, as well . Time will tell , this time next year revisit then u can get the real picture .

Should have appointed me. I would not have accepted less than 25 sea bass at 10", 6 fluke at 15", 6 flounder at 12", 3 red snapper at 18" and 5 mixed grouper at 20".
