With so many recreational anglers fishing for striped bass and government and fishermen say there are not as many fish maybe it is time for a lottery to go striper fishing. The state has no knowledge of how many people are recreationally fishing for stripers. They do not know if a thousand are targeting stripers or ten thousand.

Maybe it should be controlled like they do deer permits. Have a free recreational striper permit, you apply the first of the year and you are entered into a lottery and only so many permits will be issued for that summer, if you do not draw a permit you can not target stripers or keep a striper, you would have to go dog fishing or what ever else.
