Cod Haddock season

[ffwilliam]

What is deal with Cod and Haddock fishing.....All done Sep first?    Or can we go to November first in New Hampshire?  I hear closed Sep first, but the NH regs say Nov first?   Thanks for any clarification.

My understanding is state waters; up to 3 miles out.

Meaning?   We can fish or can't fish for them.  So unclear.,..This sucks.

Private recreational anglers can fish cod/haddock in state waters (as of now) but charter boats who hold federal permits cannot fish cod/haddock in state waters unless they give up their permits.

Meaning in a private boat you can fish (keep) in state waters (up to 3 miles out) cod, following the state regs...

and the draggers can keep doing what they are doing. raping the ocean.

Who goes to the expense of fishing for cod and haddock within the 3 mile limit? Something doesn`t add up here.
Here is info from Eastman`s site  http://www.eastmansdocks.com/reports/detail.htm?id=1873

OKAY......Word is NO COD OR HADDOCK for anyone!!
We went to Old Scantum.....caught a ton of Cod and Haddock.....all small and released.   No Pollack, no Cusk, nothing to take home and eat.

That's the way it's going to be until they get their heads out of their %%% . We the rec.guys will always pay the price for the commercial guys.

Had a great day of inshore cod yesterday, couple hours of fishing with about 6 keepers to 24"... Nice to fish with light gear in 100' of water!
