Maybe I was just unaware of it but I dont know any recs who were trapping fish in pots. I think it would be too much to worry about for guys who are only on the water once a week or so. Everyone I know hook and lines for spot. It is viewed as part of the fun. I know my son and his buddies love doing it. Upon being short on time, I would buy them from a local waterman who was charging me $1.00ea. (Considering the cost of blood worms I probably should have just always bought from him.) However I only bought spot from him twice this year. I believe the regulation clarrification probably hurt charters who dont have a commercial license. I still dont think it was even viewed by them as an issue as most those guys are networked with someone with a license.
I love live lining spot. I certainly hope that this kill doesnt cause problems for the fishery.
