That’s awesome. It seems that their ace in the pocket is that they catch red snapper in state waters. Unfortunately for us, all of ours are caught in federal waters, so it seems unlikely that we could push for a similar resolution. Props to them for kicking NOAA in the nuts though.
Nookie Haley could do the same for bsb’s. She could have different state bsb laws, then have the DNR only check bsb limits within 9 miles, or whatever the state waters are. That would effectively take NOAA out of the equation. Other gulf states have done this with red snapper as well.

Even so it would send a message to the chumps at NOAA. Also there are times when you can limit out at the Pawleys, Paradise, and other reefs within 3 miles around MI. I have gotten nice keepers at the rocks at Winyah Bay before. Anything to show these idiots we mean business.
NOAA Eliminates 240 Foot Snapper-Grouper Prohibition In S Atlantic- So I guess we can keep ARS now? Or no?

mummichog, no… This is the ban that says you are not allowed to target certain species (snowy grouper, blueline tilefish, yellowedge grouper, misty grouper, queen snapper, and silk snapper) in 240+ of water. That is different than the red snapper ban.
so we can ride to 600ft and catch our 1 snowy now?

No. You can actually now legally catch your one snowy in 160ft that their “240ft closure line” closed off at GTH.
I like the reasoning our buddy Rick DeVictor uses in that press release for why they’re opening it back up only after about a year.
As someone’s already said, that 240ft+ closure is merely the HUGE FLASHING SIGN TO US that they are going to PUT IN LOTS MORE MPA’s.
Can’t wait for everyone to keep telling me that “it ain’t gonna happen.”

quote:I told you guys this 4 years ago. Their goal is to get a huge MPA in place that closes 80% of the fishing grounds and let us have a free-for-all on the other 20%. That's the new paradigm that they want to implement.
