Guys don't get me wrong here I'm with you. The fishing down here in NC is really for the most part unregulated. Just this past week the County Commissioners voted to along with other Counties along the NC coast to ignore a new bottom fishing mandate in regards to commercial fishing, they feel if they all say no the Feds will back off. You are also correct in the past 3-4 years many ventured beyond the 3 mile limit for Stripers including the Charters, it for the most part wasn't enforced. This is why I had terrible striper fishing for the past 3 years and one of the reasons I decided to sell the boat, I wouldn't venture out past the 3 mile mark. This past weekend the commercial trawlers were lined up approx 1/4 mile off the beach scooping up anything in there path. Much of the lines and lines of fish you see in the photos are from the Charters who feel that lining the dock with fish today brings passengers tomorrow. I just hope I will get one crack at them from shore.
