....... continue the freeze on commercial..........reduce recreational/charter....no argument just reporting...just common sense.........just acknowledge the excesses of the Rec/charter group of anglers.............and back off from hard cap commercials who are a very small percentage of the ASFMC "death pie"of striper mortality.......and the available data indicates a wash of one fish recruited to the population.....one fish is removed as killed, eaten, mounted, or sold.......multiple use is the soul of America's utlization of our natural resources.....a intended resource grab under the guise of gamefish status is reprehesible....with good managment of striped bass is basically in place...........all striped bass user groups should concentrate on the bait issues as they relate to striper dietary needs......and should "pay attention" to various extremist enviro groups totally planning to end fishing as we know it....................everyone should save one's energy for the real battle that will be decending on all who participate with activities(sport, livelyhood) that has a live creature(i.e. fish) in the equation.....the massive funding that is available to the anti's to eliminate activities that include live creatures is frightening..................we all better wake up........all of us before it is to late....
