Now that a government is prepared to do something about it they get criticized. Who'd be a politician.

I think if the fishery is to be further regulated the best way to do it is to simply shorten the season. This would affect everybody equally.

I actually agree. Shorter seasons will work better than anything.

They just gotta stop the customary take bullshit.
I know people that catch shitloads during the season then get a friend or family member to fish their stand and slay it well after the season.
