Ny comms are 28 35 in. Nj and Connecticut seem to have no comm season? Ri now closed. But fish traps no limit min size 26in.
So we now have pogies you can walk on and no bass under most of them and a federal government who sees the environment and its fishery as fast money with sustainability seen as a liberal and environmental terrorism..
Still dont know how or why people eat bass with so many better choices flavor and texture which are easier to catch? But what do I know I am one voice in a sea of voices

Never seen ANTIFA. Seen ALOT of poaching... Poaching that is NOT figured into the non-commercial kill.
Always easier to look at the other group than within your own. (BTW I've been saying the stocks were in trouble longer than even Eben).
I'd personally love to see bass no-kill, and areas OFF LIMITS to recs/commercials.
I'd love to see the rules enforced to a greater degree.
I'd love for people fishing the EEZ to get their boats confisgated.
