[QUOTE=buckman;1065799]We book maybe 15 to 20 .
Would you pay 1200 dollars , drive up from jersey with your buddies , book a room , spend a couple hundred dining out , use up some valuable vaca time knowing you could only take home a couple fillets ?
Having grown up in Highlands NJ and still fish down there in May and October I would say anyone coming up from NJ willing to pay 1200 plus cost for a striper charter are not concerned about bring home fish. They are coming up for the fun and desire to catch bigger fish. If the were just interested in meat they would stay home and spend the money on a trip to fish the canyons. They would come home with far more fish and much better eating fish. If they want stripers for eating they would be far better to fish for them at home since they have not seen quite the same decrease in numbers as New England has seen, plus they could find a six hour trip for about 600 for six.. When NJ people come up in the winter and spring for cod that is a different story, then they are more interested in meat.
