I am a rec and completely behind Stripers Forever. If you know how much pocket lining is done my the comms, you will understand why SF must be hard nosed. Politics and comms are in bed together. The majority is the recs and yet we must obey them. On the issue of stripers, Atlantic menhaden and american eels as well some other marine life I think conservation must come down hard on commercial fishing.
It was recs who brought the last moratorium. It isn't recs who are over fishing bunker. It was recs who virtually eliminated Atlantic Salmon. It was recs who over fished scallops on the south shore of long island. This is their track record. I don't cull stripers, recs do. Recs don't look out for me and so I'm not interested in them. I write the politicos and do what I can to keep the environment in check and in the process I keep small business owners in buisiness with my business and that is far more profitable than the over killing of stripers.
