Why Spearfishing is an advanced Activity

If AJ were a common carrier, there would be an epidemic.Close to a million pounds a year are sold in the US.Hogfish are fine,just not south of Daytona on the EC.The NMFS.. will likely divide them into two groups soon.Ga,SC and NC population is still very healthy.

Wow. If the Fishery is about to be divided out of common sense distribution as you suggest, one would think a separation of Goliath Grouper populations could be created for Palm Beach/South Florida And the Gulf coast populations which the local spearos and fisherman are so upset about....

Jewfish will likely not be on the menu in the next 5 years but it is being studied.The NMFS is getting a lot of heat for ruining some fisheries while closing viable ones.I just saw the hog fish separation and have lobbied for a red snapper separation for years.They err on the side of caution as the recreational sector is impossible to track as well as the commercial which have a chain of custody and reports at every level from fisherman to retailer.Lobster are another species which are currently separated but there is talk of allowing g more catch north of Florida
