Apparently, one at 32" is a proposal having merit for some people, those who are accustomed to taking their two fish limit frequently or whenever possible; however, as has been pointed out earlier, 28" fish are just entering the spawning stage, the fish responsible for renewing the resource. I suppose until the ACMFC acts, if it ever does, the pledge improves upon the present situation. At the same time this resource, the striped bass, needs a sustainable diet and the harvest of millions of pounds of menhaden isn't helping. I eat fluke, BSB, and scup, but stiper fishing is a passion, an activity I pursue for pleasure the way some guys play golf. Surfcasting eats up hours of my time every week in season, and if the bass stock is decimated, I'll have to figure out how to fill the void.
