From what I have read on a few places online. The Marine Resources Advisory Panel of NY voted for a 20.5" - 4 fish - 5/15 to 9/1 season last night. From what I understand, this will only be a recomendation as to what they want. The actual regs will be set in stone at a later date, possibly as late as May.
Between the MRAP, NYDEC, NYDEP, ASMF and NMFC its confusing as hell as to who is who, and who decides what.
The MRAP will also try to sway NMFS into adopting a coastwide fluke management plan.
Just more buerocratic BS. bngh
