Ahh, a charter grunt boat. These guides here in 24' Young boats smack your ass. Every day.. Trolls will troll....My business speaks for itself and anyone who has hired me as a consult or fished with me or on my boat will vouch. Grunts are bait on my boat, sorry. Nice try though. I know the guys in those young boats that run out of here and they are damn good captains, but you'd be surprised how often their customers come and gawk at our catch. Go troll someone else. You talk like a 12 year old on every forum I have seen you on, and I'd be willing to bet most people will agree with me.

You know you are winning the argument when A#2 starts with the personal attacks. It is kind a funny and pathetic at the same time. Sort of reminds me of a middle school.

lack of recruitment (to many harvested in shallow or to many males harvested deep) pick your poison..
there is no real directed commercial fishery for gags anymore so the problem lies with the rec fishery..
own it and move on or work within the system for change..
or catch grunts.

There is no real directed commercial fishery for gags anymore? WHAT? Oh, you must mean since the IFQ was cut by 80%. All I hear is bitching because of the lack of quota. So the comms hammer and deplete the deep water males, but it is up to the recs to rebuild the stocks so the comm quota can get back to sustainable levels for the entitled few? GMAFB. Keep on spinning your pretzel logic if it makes you happy.

Who harvest more fish recreational or commercial? gag grouper? Recreational, always has been. Agreed! The stated reason for the closure was not enough males out deep to cover the females that move offshore to spawn. I will be willing to bet that 98% of the recreational anglers have NEVER caught a male or at least do not catch them on a regular basis. Therefore, we are being asked to replenish and rebuild a stock that we did very little to deplete. Seems fair.

Sure.
Got to have fish to migrate offshore and change into males?

I haven't fished offshore in a long time. Are there more people fishing offshore (25+ miles) now than say 15 years ago?

With the price of fuel and the restrictive limits many people have given up on offshore fishing. 20 or so years ago the Cedar Key docks and ramps were a beehive of activity any day with nice weather, and at least 10 if not more offshore guides ran their operations out of there. I'm not sure there's even one left going out of CK.
