A chicken and a pig are peering through the dining room window at a family having a breakfast of ham and eggs.

“Doesn’t it make you feel good to know that you can make a contribution to the happiness and well being of a family like that?” the chicken asked.

Making a wry face, the pig replied, “For you it is a contribution, but for me it is total commitment.”

The moral of that story is that decisions on season and size of fish should be made by the people with commitment--the party and charter boat captains. The rest of us are only contributors.

I'll take a #4 with fries and a small coke!

A lot would depend on when seabass is closed. If they close it the month of october you would want fluke extended for the sake of party and charter boat captains. That would be #4

#7 makes most sense to me. although I can see the argument about giving up three fish.
