Sea Bass Update from ASMFC, optimism for NY?

Chinacat said:
Well, for me, I was hoping for 15" or 15-1/2' on the Sea Bass BUT if an opening date of 5/16 is correct, I'm hopeful that gives me at least a chance to get out there in my area and catch some before all the pirates, pinhookers, etc. get to take them all.

5 bluefish is helpful because I can fill the smoker with 10 fillets on 1 trip rather than needing to do it in 2 trips 8-)

You will be late as pirate season occurs BEFORE the open.
 
My HOPE is that since its 5/16 vs 6/23 there wont be as many pirates on the water for the season yet
Wishful thinking on my part and the only minimally optimistic take I can put on this nonsense
 
ASMFC will destroy fishing industry if your state allows them too.New York should have put up a fight like Maine and New Hampshire did last year with lobster how do you allow smaller size limits in New jersey and Conn that fish the same waters we do and the customers from our state easily can go and fish from there
