Sorry-
I just can't believe that things like:
- the decimation of the population in the Chesapeake with tiny size limits,
- the decimation of the big wintering bass off North Carolina,
- the huge bycatch & kills reported floating dead offshore from all the draggers (especially the recent reports) that happens WAY more than we think,
- the annual increases in commercial quotas because they tell us things are "better",
- the slow increases in the recreational size & number limits from 1 at 36" just a few years back to now 2 at 28",
- decimation of main bait sources,
- etc., etc.
are not putting a really big and damaging dent in Striper stocks.
Again like Habs said, can't just keep taking & taking & taking from all over.
There is DEFINITELY a problem.
