I should note that I am not sure I support the "hold back". To me it seems that DNR is basically stating that they know they cannot manage or control the commercial net fisheries so this gives them a cushion, per se. However the hold back is based on "unknowns" as they dont know the degree of the poaching problems or have a handle on them. Here again, DNR is acting on "unknowns" to reduce fisheries just as they did with the preseason catch and release restrictions.
