Hey guys, I understand the state’s reasoning behind the no fillet rule. I appreciate their trying to protect the cutts in conjunction with the overall plan of the fishery. I am just saying that their reasoning is flawed. I have seen all the cutts at the cleaning station too. Fact is they are already dead. They can’t just go release them.
If they provided a competent CO to monitor closely and write tickets to stop the illegal harvest of cutts, all the fish that do not have a slot could be filled, the point would be moot. Yes I realize that probably not possible but would be a better protection of the resource than a no fillet rule on the other species.
