Thank you once again reds. To quote DNR we are taking a cautious approach to management of striped bass. Why would you increase quota in any sector if your doctrine is to be cautious. If anything after there original statement I would expect them to push for more restrictions and tightening of management guideline across the board REC and commercial.
I am going to the TFAC meeting tonight at 6:00pm and see what they have to say.
