5 | 1/31/2024 | dhubbard@hubbardsmarina.com | Dylan Hubbard | Madeira Beach | Florida | Charter/Headboat (Federal For-Hire) | Gulf of Mexico fishery management council meeting public comment document January 31st, 2024 Capt. Dylan Hubbard Owner, Hubbard’s Marina - Central west Florida multi passenger charter boats and party boats Please move forward on standing up a new program as soon as possible based on the ad hoc elb discussions and motions. We need a program with buy in, with as little info required as possible, while still being validated and able to pass peer reviewed and plugged into assessments to be used for science and management. Our goal is to reduce scientific and management uncertainty buffers while making the burden on the fleet as small as possible. | |
6 | 2/1/2024 | Chris@saltyscales.com | Chris | Ruskin | Florida | 33570 | Private Recreational Angler, Charter/Headboat (Federal For-Hire) | Being a private charter captain in the Tampa Bay I see the grouper numbers and what is harvested in my area. I feel as though we need better means of data collection and better information and resources. I see the bay has TONS of juvenile Gag groupers. I watch most fishermen do not even have the abilities to catch these fish without a professional. |
7 | 6/25/2024 | Noah5000000@gmail.com | Noah smith | Deland | Florida | 32724 | Charter/Headboat (Federal For-Hire) | I would like to see the removal of the 20 fathom closure unaffected unenforceable |
8 | 6/25/2024 | pdtpopi@gmail.com | Paul Thomas | Palatka | Florida | 32177 | Frequent charte fisherman on federal for hire boats | The 20 fathom closure is really an unenforceable law as the line that would be used changes so often you may be inside the line 1 minute and out of it the next with just at anchor and have a fish on board the boat it severely limits the ability of anyone to fish and be productive on a long trip say over 6 hours or more and the fish don't follow your ruels I truly believe if you really dig into the data you will see it hasn't made that big of a difference so I would recommend for the removal of the 20 fathom closure respectively thank you |
