Watermen Taking Hit Due To Restrictions

Watermen say they are taking a big hit this winter because of new restrictions on rockfish; five-percent less this season after illegal nets were found last year with tons of striped bass. The president of the watermen’s association sent a letter to the state, asking DNR to restore the full quota. Watermen say they do not want to pay for the actions of a few, but some admit it may be too late.
