And yes there are a great deal of recs who catch Spot with traps and in the past the DNR has looked the other way.
Spot are not a bait fish by regulation, therefore the pens are a gray area. One of the things the ASMFC wants the DNR to look into is a daily limit. A daily limit will make the pens illegal if over one limit is kept unless you have a commercial finfish license.

As the market for spot increases by the popularity of live lining, I feel a daily limit might not be a bad idea. There is just a TON of 2" spot in the bay right now............Gary
