Time For A Big Change

How many people would support a Striper License with a specified number of Tags similar to the way the State manages the Whitetail Deer Hunting. Lets say you pay $100.00 for the License and 10 tags. If you land and retain a fish you report it on line with dimensions and weight.
You could also report all the landed fish you catch and subsequently release. There could also be a Trophy Tag provision similar to Florida's Tarpon Tag program where for in the case of Florida its $50 bucks, you could keep a trophy Striper. All the funds generated from this would go to enforcement and administration of this program.You already need a Saltwater License so maybe it could be in the form of a Stamp like it is for Archery, Primitive Weapons and Waterfowl.Also how many support local Law Enforcement being mandated to assist in upholding the game laws? The State could also train and empower certain individuals to help in reporting and enforcing the regulations on a limited basis. The State needs to step up and record the Recreational Catch in order to have a Viable management plan going forward. At present its no more than by guess and by golly lets wing it
