The whole issue was settled by the feds when they imposed the moratorium.We wouldn't work together and had too many people lining their pockets at the back door to restraunts and other black market sales to give up the extra bucks till the fishing got to about where it is now.Only a matter of time till the issue is taken from our hands again due to our inability to fix the problem.Few fish anyplace but loads of large fish in a few places. MMMMMMM sounds like the early 80's again.And as back then we stuck out collective heads in the sand instead of fixing the problem.Small consalation though is that the morratorium worked and the stripers sprang back.Maybe we'll get lucky again. Maybe not.
