Buck its the attitude of the charter guys that they entitled to special regs is the problem. For at least four years I have seen the fishing sour. Responsible striper fisherman have reduced or curtailed keeping fish. Yet some but not all seem hell bent on keeping as many as legally possible. Look at the pictures of dead fish that many for hires put on their advertising materials. I see pictures of limits of dead bass and I am angry. Look at the pictures of the party boat out of Montauk fishing block island last year. What do you expect people to feel, we all know the fish are in trouble yet you lobby for a bigger cut of the pie and kill more fish than you need. note this rant does not include all for hire guys. There are many responsible captains out there that are respectful of the resource.
