latest on wolfish

Jim — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 17:01:34 +0000

i am not positive but from what i hear, wolfish from may 1 on can not be retained. nmfs is telling us to remove the hook from the wolfies mouth and release it. i am not crazy enough to put my hand in there. policy as is on big mac. if lucky we might catch two or three cata a day, not exactly destroying the fisheries. will it ever end. best, capt. jim
