Honestly would be a fairly simple way to get a close number on how many Rock are kept.
When moratorium was lifted - in spring we had to buy a Rockfish stamp. Think it was $2.00 but do not hold me to that. Each angler had to have it and you were given five trophy tags.
They were thick plastic that snapped together - non reusable. The tag went into the fish's mouth and made a great handle to carry them. Tag had to be put on Rockfish as soon as it was in the boat.
That could be brought back - you buy tags in say groups of two , six or ten. Depending on how much you plan to fish / keep. If you use all your tags - you buy another set of what you think you'll use. Tags could be 50 cents each so math is easy - doubt any one would complain.
Then at end of year - have some type trade in for tags not used. Still be some not used or turned back in but would get a better number of fish kept.
We are, however, those folks who are out of state, don't have a fishing license, etc...that are on our boats need to have one too, even though we have the boat license, they still need to register with NOAA...Complete BS....

That's true....if an out of state person is on your boat they are covered by your BOAT license to fish, but they wouldn't be registered with NOAA.......I wonder if they bought an out of state tidal license.....would they automatically get registered too?
Some of the best science in Maryland is based on concerns we have herd.
If you donnt give them the info they want. They do what they want any way.
Look a how they railroaded the public on the catch and release fishing with no supporting data.
