The leaders of these clubs can come up with a mutual organized strategic plan that involves it members to rally to voice the issues that are important to the bass fishery. The media would more likely be there to create more exposure.

this is a good point and maybe that would have an effect, but everybody has their own interests and opinions, trying to get 10,000 fisherman to agree that the main threat to striped bass is the bait fish problem is a difficult enough task, let alone getting them to moblize on the issue. I mean, we can't all agree how to hook a damn eel!
The fact of the matter is that companies like Omega have such a vested interest in what they do that I'm sure they will fight to the death to protect it. I'm not saying there is not a way.
It's just when it comes down to it, I think we just don't "care" as much.
