The wildlife and fisheries biologist who was taking surveys of fishermen's catch yesterday at spicers said "I believe it was CCA who pushed for the triple tail limits," after we came back to the dock and told him there are hundreds of triple tail out there right now with about 10% being keepers. He was quick to say "woahh" when we told him their limit was a terrible idea, and was sure to say that "it was not our doings, it was CCA who pushed for it." He then went on to say that there is basically no science, and it will be extremely rare for people to go out there and run across lots of triple tail.
Triple tail are not worth fishing for anymore, and after yesterday I'm pissed about this limit. To me it would be equivalent to saying that a trout has to be 6lb's to keep. Unbelievable.
