with a estimate that is wildly assumptive and shut down the fishery based on inaccurate
information. That is why after Wednesday , recreational hogfish will be shut down .
NEVER let them survey or count your catch , you are only shooting yourself in the foot.
They will take your information , skew , distort , and lie . Then you get 10 years of no
harvest , the bean counter who talked to you on the dock still gets paid , by your taxes
while you get yanked.
Don't bitch about it here , contact FWC Commissioners @ myfwc .com ,
contact Jessica McCawley , head of fisheries management also.
demand accurate fish counts , not the speculative , random , guesses they use now.
Time for me to get the boat , ice it and harvest ; later.

Where did you see that it is shut down? The FWC web site still does not list a date on when they are going to implement the open/closed season.
