They are doing it to curb a recent trend. People from out of state are coming in and literally loading the truck over a course of the weekend to sell out of state. A lot of states outside of here in the south don't have skipjack herring and are more than willing to pay by the pound for them as bait.

I know it sounds crazy to think there is a regulation for this given what we think their numbers are in the water but if nothing is done proactively on this it could pose problems going forward. Skippies are an important food base in our waters.
