I feel a lot of your pains to those north of 9 and I sympathize believe me. Selfishly I am very pleased with the fisheries in 9/10 as it's about time there were some improvements but at the cost of other fisheries losing it is still just not right. I hope in a couple years we see a true improvement in numbers in all species from the fallout of the BLOB and even more improvement in our management and political processes and tendencies. Fight the good fight and tight lines
Also wondering about the Aug 15th coho closure in MA9. We might find those few early fish but will likely miss the run. Am I missing something? Seems like a false season.
