Some Facts On How Fluke Have Been Managed

That still doesn't solve the inequities between states. If we continue to base this fishery, or any fishery on history, then we will always get less. We all deserve the same amount of fish no matter how many our parents our caught.

Unless you can present an alternative model, they will continue with the status quo.

I've been to many meetings dating back to the 90s. I've seen recs speak and embarrass themselves time after time while the for hire and commercial sectors present a more unified and coherent argument backed by data gathered over many trips under different conditions.

From a political standpoint, with all the issues in society do you honestly think the number of fluke a guy in his 100K boat can keep is a priority?

Your initial post in this thread was all data. Subsequent posts contain data. Your argument compares data with NJ and now data means zippo? RLMAO......

No comment on the 90s when we actually got things done. You were there, right? We pushed through the last real piece of legislation since.

Now you claim the recs embarrassed themselves while the party and charter boats were well prepared. Are you suggesting they were the ones driving the outcome? That is nonsense. There were few if any party or charter boats at those meetings. I know, because I was at every single one of them.

You also avoid admitting how wrong you were about us having the same options as New Jersey, something you clearly picked up secondhand. And now you are rewriting the history of the 90s as well.

You type a good game, but I question what, if anything, you have ever done to bring real change. I have been doing it my entire career.
