Recs are going to 35 inches next season. Asmfc is targeting an 18% mortality reduction. Comm quota will be slashed 18% as well but if you don’t get to the quota then it doesn’t really help much. The comms are only a small problem, estimated at 8% of total mortality. Recreational community should encourage a voluntary self imposed moratorium through education. Start with a 1 yr voluntary no kill campaign. The best way to change peoples minds and hearts is not to yell at them from a moral high horse but to bring them into the fold, educate them on how bad it truely is and cash in on the charisma of the striper. That’s not gonna be easy and is going to cost a lot of cash in advertising. Pushing for gamefish doesn’t doesn’t help, most people stop listening once you say “gamefish”
