Got this in a e mail as I’m sure some others did as well. Let’s hope it holds true, but for just one week?? how bout a month! or better yet keep the limit where it currently is at 15.
“According to preliminary information from the National Marine Fisheries Service the recreational black sea bass fishery in the South Atlantic will reopen on June 1st as anticipated. It appears that the reduction in the black sea bass bag limit from 15 to 5 fish will become effective on or about June 1st. However, the NMFS is likely to allow the 15 fish bag limit to remain in effect for the first week after the fishery reopens to provide a transition period for fishermen to come into compliance with the new 5 fish bag limit.”

Yes, you do need to use circle hooks (when using cut bait).
My hook of choice is a 5/0 or 6/0 Owners SSW Circle. Can use the Owner Mutu but that is probably overkill for targeting BSB.

Just a friendly word of advise for people targeting BSB during this one week “grace” period before the reduced limits. If we have 50 posts about catching EPIC BSB and limiting out with 5 limits, please know that this information will be used by the pseudo scientists at NMFS and they WILL apply those numbers toward our annual lb limit. It will be done.
Don’t post specifics or photos of your total catch.

sshaarda, you worry too much. SAFMC is going to do what they want anyway and no common sense approach is going to change that. In addition, nobody cares about BSB right now. Everyone is after the mahidoradodolphinfish. And even if there were a “midnight rush”, the “scientists” (I put this in quotes because the term is normally used to describe someone who adheres to an unbiased approach and the scientific process which is obviously not the case)… Anyway, as I was saying, if there were a “midnight rush”, the “scientists” have already factored it in…
Think I’ll fish for ringtails, grunt and sand bass.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Saltydog won’t do you any good. I think they maybe a shortage of them to. I haven’t seen a sand bass for years. Ringtails only seen about two of them. Grunt you refering to wild pigs. STUDIES must be done.

I said something to this effect 2-3 years ago, but was shot down by many of the “prolific posters” on here. But you are correct, they use these message boards against us.
Back in NJ, the scientists would often talk to one fisherman and call his results the norm, then since they couldn’t talk to another hundred, they would multiply the great fisherman’s catch by a hundred and “Oh My Goooosh” they’re being overfished! We must step in and save the species!" Do any of these jamokes go out on the water at all?! The party boat fleet is dying and no one cares, it’s frustrating to say the least. There, I got that off my chest

I better go buy more circle hooks. Only got 16, 10 of size 10, 6 of 1/0…I was factoring that in for sheeps in spades and not factoring in BSB. Need to get bigger ones. Considering that’s our main target on Sunday since we’re going to the nearshore reef for a day of fun. Maybe the kings will have moved in and can keep us busy to put more meat in the boat. BTW, if we catch a 5 man limit of BSB, expect pictures and a post with catch of the day. I really don’t think these dooshers are really reading all the fishing websites and taking all catch from all reports into their data. I 100% understand what you guys are saying but this craps going to persist whether we post or not. CLEARLY posts show the fisheries that are closed are stronger than ever so why would they be closed? Why the hell would everything be shut down if all people are catching is large species of what’s shut down. Personally, I’d like to see a 14" limit on BSB.
