Mike is just trying to protect his lively-hood at the expense of the future striper fishery.

FYI I have never chartered for striped bass, its not my specialty, and I haven't chartered at all for the past three years while I was taking care of my wife. Ypu guys just don't seem to get two basic points:
1- striped bass spawning success is totally dependent on the weather, something we have no control over. What the ASMFC is trying to do is keep the SSB high enough so that when we do get favorable weather conditions we will get an extremely large year class of fish, like the 2011 year class.
2- The best hope for a strong spawn is from the 2011 year class, and that year class will only be protected for about a year with these new rules.
