It most definitely is time for a moratorium. I don't understand why this hasnt been pushed more. Or its time for the striper to become a "gamefish". Stop the commercial and rec, (and charters...), from killing any fish. My generation is getting screwed because of the greed. I am willing to bet that a group of anglers in their 20's, would all say they would prefer conservation over consumption.
