I was simply trying to figure out how DNR is thinking. It just seems counter productive to extend the season on a "good" year when people are catching lots of fish. But then; on a year (like this one) when catching was difficult (and less fish were taken) why didn't they extend the season?
I was wondering if this was a subtle message from DNR that they really do believe the stock is in jeoperdy. By not extending the season, they have at least saved a small portion of the stock.
kill lots of rock...extend the season
kill fewer rock...end season on the 15th
The above didn't make sense to me. I believe DNR is concerned about the size of the stock and felt it prudent to close the season on time this year.
Thanks for all the responses.
5th (Marty)
