That study is interesting, but it was done back in the 1999 time frame. I have a copy of it at home from back then. Even then "Keeper" size fish were becoming a concern for lack of numbers. It has been 4 years since that study was released, and the amount of fish that are being caught now way above those levels. I don't believe this fishery can keep up the numbers at the current pace. Used to be at Deep River ramp a busy Saturday was 40 or so rigs, now you have over a 100.
