Is it just me, or does 18,000 FRY not seem like that big of a number? Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative of the effort and the inclusion of pompano and flounder to this program is a great idea!

18K may seem like a small number to some but on the other hand any number is better than none. A step towards replenishment, though a small step, is a positive step.

Yes, it may not seem like a lot.
But it is, every increase is exponential in the long term.
If just 1% of that 18k are females who spawn once, then that is an average 280 million eggs.
Now do it again, and again and again...
Exponential and compounding increases.
That is as long as we maintain our estuaries.

Cobia are being farmed in the western gulf and other places, for markets.

Wouldn't that be cool if huge schools of cobia came through where everyone hooks up (like you see with big schools of jacks or reds)?

Some people will hate me for this...
I would support a 3-5 year ban on ALL Cobia fishing in US waters.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
