Dear Ron, Maine is such a nice place, why not stay the %$%$%$%$ up there and mind your own house instead of coming on this board and starting trouble. Are you a StripersForever plant or informant? Like the Recreational Fishing Alliance who based all thier scinece (junk science) on a supposed "expert" who was found to have falsefied his resume' and never ever actually observed on any boats, by his own admission a week ago, is actually a phony.
Now, get this right for once and for all, then go back to browsing the LL Bean catalogs for the winter, commercial harvest of striped bass in this state no where near mirrors or exceeds the recreational take and poaching done by certain ethnic groups. Our problem is not bass it's bait. No herring, minimal large Menhaden, lack of sand eels inshore on the outer Cape and seals.
Now, I beg you, from now on post constructively or shut the %$%$%$%$ up.
I can't type anymore my hands are too cut up from catching bass from dawn to midnight yesterday.
Sincerely, Steve Shiraka, Falmouth Ma.
