......and...... a major reduction of the recreational catch would drastically reduce the amount of fish (striped bass) killed....furthermore, when I proposed the creation of a "new" fishing user group of the the striped bass pie at ASMFC meetings a number of years back...a new sector"Charter Commercial"(by the way a huge group-as indicated by JMac and Cow Hunter that kill numerous fish in large numbers)-the huge charter boat lobby did not approve......it is so obivous .......the recreational and "charter commercials" are decimating the stripers......just open one's eyes...take a look at the nearly 24 7 hit on the stripers taking place along the East Coast..........these sectors are out of control..remember the commercial cap has been frozen for years........the recreational/charter commercial catch have skyrocketed to new heights......and let us all user groups share the resource.........and....the resource grab that is circulating....is in total disgregard for multiple use wise use of the striped bass resource.........everyone involved should be concerned that this excessive disharmony among striped bass resource users...is perfect cannon fodder for extremist enviro groups............we careful, the doors that might open will slap all striped bass fisherman in the face...........share the resource..don't sqauander it................................................ .....................................
