Thanks!
Yeah, they upgraded quite a few things about 2 years ago. That doesn't surprise me.

So did NMFS and NOAA I believe...
It'd be interesting to get some actual data, pre and post, to see if the new limits had adversely affected the fishery. The sampling data is somewhere, just gotta find it. For all the passionate, and clearly feisty, people so emotionally invested in this issue... Facts are fun. Go find them!
If they reduced the limits on my lil piece of water, I'd be the first one beating down doors demanding answers to the simple questions.
