3 legal fish. until they grow even more not enough for a meal for one.
should have just been a moratorium.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind this 3 fish limit?
Who were the people responsible for this?
If I would pop around with a sabiki tied to the tin I can easily get double and triple headers.

Years ago my children and I always went Snapper fishing. This was the fish that got my children addicted to fishing...

I was 18 in 1990

After intense debate, a plan that limited recreational
fishermen to 10 bluefish at a time in Federal waters
from 3 to 200 miles off the coast took effect in May 1990.

When I was a kid there weren't any regs on bluefish/snappers.
I would bring home a bucket full and the family would eat them.

After catching so many bluefish I finally got the courage to go
tuna fishing.
