this is such a mess. People are going to sit around bickering about this nonsense until stripers are on the brink of endangerment again and we have to institute drastic measures. Sweet we beat another conservation effort from those sissy, annoying environmental gripers. Awesome. I don't really care where the compromise comes from, I'm glad to give up keeping fish if it means I'll have more bass to catch a few years from now, I haven't kept a bass in 2 years and somehow it's still fun. Someone's going to have to give up something in order to help the stripers, I frankly don't care who it is, I'm happy to give up keeping fish for a while and as far as comm fishing goes, new regs are a fact of life for that line of work. I'm not saying we need to ban comm striper fishing but they may need to come to terms with the fact that higher minimums may be necessary and their catch is going to be decreased. If we don't do something, regardless of what it is, there will be few bass for everyone and all the comm fishermen as well as the charters and tackle shops will be out of work with no one to blame but themselves.
