Common sense thing would be to move the size up to 34 inches.
Perhaps require a trophy tag so an accurate count of fish killed could be had.
Hopefully - if YOY is low , ASMFC will move quickly and place a one fish limit per angler for the coastal fishery in winter.
Other thing that would help - enforce the 3 mile EEZ.
Reality - same old / same old - take them until few are left.
