The main problem is the misinformation that we get fed by (formerly) respectable sources. Instead of stating what we need to hear, they spew out crap they want us to hear in order to put more $$ in their pockets.

If there were a ban on striper sales and a moratorium on catches, it would have to be for the entire eastern seaboard and not for a few northern states. What good would it do to regulate the catch of fish here if they are being removed by the ton down south?

What it looks like is that we will have to suffer in order for the southern states can "try" to continue with their fishing practices as usual. Our concerns over the YOY classes is only telling them that there will be more fish to catch, regardless of size!
