January 2009 Meeting

Thanks to Ralph Pratt for his informative discussion on the tuna quotas discussed at the ICAT meeting. Concerns on how we could lose are quota of tuna to Canada if we do not catch our quota of tuna before 2010. A possibility of lowering the fork length limit to 65" would help increase the catch and bring us closer to our quota for the next two years. It seemed that most people where in favor of lowering the length limit. Thanks to Steve James for putting on a great raffle.
