I find this to be BS. I remember a lengthy thread about this a couple years ago and was wondering if people still felt the same way?

That's what you got

So I'm gathering it was just a meeting of the minds and nothing was set yet..

I heard the number that is on the table right now is three.

Tried already BIG FAIL

Your talking about a fish that is seasonal and is targeted very few days a year

Doesn't matter, there's no biological evidence to support a limit of any kind. They just making up the frickin rules as they go? Reminds of 15 trout per person.

That's absurd!

Year to date....this whole site has not boated 100 3tail yet

Attachment 52632doing my best

But that right there is gonna be their argument I guarantee. "We'll people don't catch many anyways. Lets drop the limit to 3". Ex: mottled duck limit.

Me too!!

Wait till August, September and October and we'll be lightin em up!!

Yep I gotta August spot they usually thick thick

I can honestly say I never caught one

me eiver

Wrong buddy 104 triple tail me and boat driver!

104 2nd day

True there is no biological evidence. Perhaps their discussion at the meeting will include the study they will conduct to see if a limit is warranted. Perhaps not. But right now everyone is just assuming that they will hit us with a limit with no basis.

We are talking about the state not NOAA, sea grant , nmfs or gomfmc witch figured the federal limits and obviously don't know what they are doing. Pretty sure they are just taking a look. It might be a good thing. The feds could close them down at anytime. The state is prob getting some info together to have some ammo for the Feds. Look at what has happened to Aj, snapper,redfish, gags, and triggerfish.
