How's greed work? Oh ya as long as I can still make the bucks cut everyone else LOL . OK. I know this is a waste but since Maine only lands less than 1 % of the stripers landed not much we do will affect others. but for us since 96 well the number of stripers we land and the size has almost dropped off the chart. As far as an increase in what we kill -LOL-don't know about that. Might be if you look at the small increase in the number of anglers up here. But it's a heck of a lot better than 2 fish 28 in that helps creat the slaughter of fish in the canal.More mortality just there than we see in a couple seasons. so do we just keep argueing or get off our collective butts and work together and do something. Poleticians are part of the problem along with the greedy. Gamefish and 36 in will help but it wont stop the charter slaughter in the EEZ,The Canal and all other places like that. The Tournements and derbys hurt some but look at the Vineyard and see the decline in fish weighed in over a month. LOL look at the MS weekend. Loads of fish there LOL with a bunch of good fishermen. A dozen fish over 100 angles. We don't do something soon and you young guys are gonna feel what we did back in the 80's.
So we gonna do something or just keep bitchin at each other.
