Not really worried about "limiting out" because I don't bring very many trophy size fish home anyway. I like a 25-30 inch fish for eating; but my guests (some who don't fish much) like to take home a "big one".
Charters will have a real problem throwing 37, 38, and 39 inch fish back:roll eyes:

This new proposal was proposed by the charterboat people. First at the January SFAC then the TFAC.

Wasn't it proposed by "some" of the charter boat people? A certain sector in Solomon's?
As I said, I can live with a slot limit, but won't charter customers have a problem tossing back those slot fish?

If you knew that, why didn't you post that in the original post?
Whether you knew this or not, The Maryland Charterboat Association and the Upper Bay Captain's Association are both on board with the proposal.
That only leaves some the Deale Boys not spoken for since the Rod and Reel guys are mixed in with the Solomon group.
Oh and the president of the MCA has resigned.
Personally, I'd rather have 28" to 36" and the original proposal of over 43" then anything else.

Reds; I didn't put it in my original post because my "inside" information is a bit spotty and the Email from CCA didn't expressly say which organization proposed this new option. I had no idea so many of the charter guys were for this option.
From my perspective, I thought this would be undesirable to the charters.
Once again, we are approaching the Spring season with a big question mark. Last year, it was the "three rod rule"; this year it is size limits. I just don't understand why we have to get down to the wire to get answers.
As I said, I can live with either option.

I imagine those that profit from the spring tournamenst had a hand in the 40+ part of this. I think if they are going to implement any sort of slot limit it should be just that 28"-36" or 28-38" but MSSA and the like will not allow that to happen as it would shut down their tournaments.

I would just like to be able to give my customers a credible answer as to why we need to save certain size fish. If it is to save the large breeders, so be it. The two proposals above seem to contradict each others ultimate goals.
Maybe we will have a decision before April 18th .

The two proposals above are the same except the /or over 40". The original proposal was for 44" and the Soloman's group changed it to 40 or 41 in a letter to TFAC.
Either way, the intention was to protect the breeders of over 36". I might add that the commercial sector has a max limit of 36".

Reds,
Sorry, the proposals that I was referring to were the two in 5th's original post.
"one fish over 36" and "one fish between 28 and 36" and one over 40".
The one fish over 36" doesn't do much protecting of the breeders.
