Simple questions, no attacks intended...why do they start counting on June 12th? Smalma, I understand that they want to keep consistency with what dates they are counting every year, makes sense. However, why not start earlier, like May 1? Is it a $$$ thing, not enough funds or do the bulk of the fish really start showing in June? Why June 12th? That seems kind of random to me. Do they take in account fish showing prior to June 12th? Just curious, looking forward to the season, whatever it turns out to be. I'm sure I'll see some of you out there.
