YUP!!! it is over for charter boats that go for ground fish....who is going to pay 1200 -1500 bucks for a bottom fishing trip?....according to NOA the rec's did it to them selves over fishing the quota in 2013....U can blame the draggers if ya like but WEEEEEEE did to ourselfs.
Well explained buckman.
Looks like recreational, charter & commercial striper fishing R left...it may be time to make striper fishing a sports fishery and do away with commercial since a select few want the commercial fishery for themselfs of which most RRRR actually recreational striper fishermen only except for a short period of time...maybe in order to be considered a commercial fisherman for striped bass most of your yearly income should be in the commercial fishery.
As far as recretional striped bass fishing goes maybe there should be a one fish limit per day per person with no more then 3 or 4 in possession like they do for fresh water fishing... no body needs 2 fish every day.
