For those who fish charter boats occasionally - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just called fishermans landing and the confirmed that bluefin is closed for the rest of the year. Goes into effect tonight. Can't believe they would do this in the middle of the bite. Sucks for my 4 day next week.

Does anyone know what the health of the BF population is like in the Pacific?
With efficiency and size of Commercial purse seiners and gill netters, I'd be surprised if they don't become an endangered species like

in a few more years.
Anyone familiar with the show "Wicked Tuna" should be able to figure out that since the Atlantic and Mediterranean is being protected (e.g. Prince Edward is C&R ONLY!) The worlds fishing fleets had to go somewhere...any guesses where ???

The demand is outstripping the supply!!!
I haven't heard of any VW size BF on the outer banks or for years. Has anyone else?

Then on the other hand It could be because of the radiation levels of the fish from the Fukishima Nuclear spill and don't want any liability issues(?)

Bummer. But gotta remember their country their rules. I guess its smoked yft and yt sashimi for the rest of the year.

BTW, do yellow highlighters work on fins?

Posted on other boards. It only applies to commercial fishing and not sports boats... So for now the sports fleet are fine.

If you read the bottom of the Sportfishing reports page it does mention that the catch of BF includes "Recreational" also. I'd be willing to bet there will be many PBer's getting tickets this weekend!!!
Now I'm REALLY praying for a powerful "El Niño"!

My understanding after reading many blogs/sites commercials fishing Mexican waters may have already met their 5,000 ton quotas, and to protect possible overfishing they have shut down all BF fishing for the year for everyone!

This is incorrect. Mexican letter states all bluefin fishing. I even verified with Seaforth landing. No Bluefin fishing, period.

Don't worry boys you will be able to catch BFT from your YAK locally soon...that's the dope for the day

I would not have posted if this did not include recreational fishermen. But unfortunately for us it does. Which really sucks for the guys with trips coming up. But I'm sure that they will get into some other species .

Or we can hope the fish move up this way...soon!

I don't know about highlighters but a portable airbrush may work. Just make sure you have enough paint!
