Increase in scup for commercials

What BS, those who know how many fish there are in the ocean determine there are too many scup and increase the take for the commercials while they have already shut down the season for the rec guys.
Ridiculous regulations being controlled by idiots in my opinion.

Yea that got me heated to!!!! 40 fish on the party boat but only 10 for us it’s total BS. Although the scup fishing was great I went out the closing day and it took quite awhile to get our limit. If commercial fishing can be increased so should our limit!!!

Holy cow...look who pop's in Hey there Nate.
Scup fishing can be just like any other fishing...some days are better than others.
They kept the regs the same for the Party boats, closed our season and increased the take for the commercial boats...now how can that be a fair deal??
