The bass are back pretty strong and breading measurements are pretty solid. IMO all you have to do is make striped bass a non-commerical or game fish. Take the price off the fishes head and put a reasonable sport fishing limit (IMO 2-3 fish is reasonable with a lower limit of 28-36 inches) and make it coast-wide. There will be plenty of fish for gnerations to come
As long as there is a market for the fish...the commerical take will keep the pressure on.
