I was targeting them basically just to get out on the water since striper season is over. And some buyers do pay different prices for sizes. My buyer pays flat rate all a jumbo.

.65 cents for jumbos!:confused: I used to get over $2 for jumbos! Last year I was getting around $1.50 in RI.

RI doesn't have a Portuguese commercial Scup fishing fleet off of nomans island hand lining 1000lbs a day each boat.

What's the landing limit in MA, I seriously doubt that, at this time of year, its 1,000 pounds a day? IIRC last year in RI it was 200 pounds a day.
