they do read, tally and if you read through the public comment letters(just got done reading through all of them)..they highlight your sentiment and other pertinent info so this does have a great effect....the meeting and final decision is Monday March 2nd...please get your comments to the GOVERNOR ahead of the meeting........

I was struck reading through the comments that the common sentiment among RI recs and some long time charter captains was a recognition of the decline, concern for the future and desire for simple and consistent rules governing the Striped Bass, didn't see that in the opposing views....I did find some letters from the mythical charter client who will go elsewhere or not fish(not sure where as Ct and Mass are leaning heavily 1 fish all modes) if they can't keep their 2 bass per angler on a RI trip.....I was befuddled that an individual would either not take or relocate a vacation with family and/or friends over the ability or "perception" of 1 fish or the fillets of 1 fish...REALLY? that's a deal breaker?...pretty sure you can still catch as many as you want.....I'm finding less and less sympathy for the argument all the time...some other interesting stuff in there if you have the time to read but please get your comments to the GOVERNOR today and tomorrow
