Greater Amberjack Management Measures

View Comment

Thanks for the opportunity to comment. I love offshore fishing and want my grandkids to experience the excitement and fun someday. I am a real advocate of facing the problem headon, with no pussy footing around. If indeed the Greater Amberjack population is in jeopardy and apparently it is based on rule changes in the past 20 years; then let's close it to all fishing for a year (or two) and then reassess the problem. This is "recreational" and no one will be hurt by a total closure! When the population recovers then, set new rules ( even individual quotas, like the commercial guys) to better sustain the population. I firmly do NOT believe a partial closure will have ANY effect on the problem. Jake Rogers
