NOAA has proposed the following for GOM Cod, but it's only for a 2 week season in Sept and again in April, 2019. If the weather is as bad next spring as this one, I can kiss that spring season goodbye!!
Proposed regs vs. 2018 regs below from Federal Register...
Oh, almost forgot, for "chews guys" outside of the GOM, the cod size limit proposal was a 2" drop from the current 23" to 21", and no change in the 10 fish per day bag limit and a year-long open season. Haddock remains with no regulation changes, which is no size limit (WTH do you fillet a < 18" haddock?) no bag limit and year-round fishing.
