Personally, I’d like to see it go back to 1 fish per day at 36” and have there be one law along the whole coast. As far as fishing for fun not being good for fish populations, I think that that is pretty obvious. Sticking a hook in something and pulling out of its environment isn’t good for anything. But, the people who fish for fun are the people who love and respect the fish and they are to ones who do most of the work to protect the fish. If fish such as stripers where thought of only as a food source, they probably would be close to extinct by now.
