Seeming as to what happened , or did not happen ,at the IPHC Annual Meeting for the first time since 1923- The current members should be Keel- hauled and left behind the boat.
Dysfunction is not what we like to see from our regulatory body. However, I have no problem with our representatives not accepting double digit quota cuts when the 2c and 3a biomass appears to be booming.
"Appears" to be booming - that's the key word.
Talk to the biologists and listen to the IPHC stock assessment.
When the current "booming" fish are caught or die, there's nothing behind them.
Do we pound the crap out of the few remaining seed stock? I suppose you would if your an old dude ready to retire - make it while you can. But if your not, then its time to suck it up.
Well aware of low recruitment on the stock assessment and I’m no biologist but I’ve hauled a lot of hooks. Very curious for this years stock assessment
