So who the hell is going to police this idea? You think they're going to put 50000 DEM officers on the water to catch the guy who's on Brenton Reef at 2 in the morning?
Whenever there is a lottery involved there will be rampart abuse.

A lottery isn't the answer. Stopping the BS in the Carolines, VA and MD with the netters would help. Game fish status would help even more and 1 fish, 36" per day would also. Put em all together and you would solve the Striper decline.

Look what happened with the pogies in Narr Bay. They stopped the Pogy boats from going north of Conimicut Light and we still have pods of pogies around. Last year you couldn't buy a pogy after June 15th. It is all about what make sense.

No boat, back in the suds.
