W the jetties are not federal waters so you and your clients can still take home your five fish limit, but if you take your clients offshore under the proposed change then you can only have one red per person, after you come back in you can stop at the jetties and catch your other four

I think he means he can keep 1 per person because at the Jetties he's catching fish over 27 inches.
