I think if you are allowed to keep one it should be on the third thursday of the month unless it's a new moon. If it's a new moon on that thursday then add six days and subtract two to calculate the allowable harvest day of that particular month. No hooks can be used on this day. No wading in the water or scraping bottom with a boat is allowed at any time. Cameras on your person or within control of your person are prohibited. Heavy weight rods and 30+ pound test line only to reduce stress mortality. Special emergency regulations will be posted at noon of the effective day and apply retroactively from sun up that morning.
I'm sure I will think of more. The point I am trying to make is that if things are getting this bad, and they are, then fishing should be closed down completely. Regulations and the "one bad apple spoils the bunch" are getting way out of hand and masking the true problems. When ESA was looming if we had closed fishing for five or so years I think our situation would be greatly improved at this point in time. Although we'd still have the same habitat and netting issues.
