It was in state water. Unfortunately, the stripers are all massed at the mouth of the bay. Water has been too warm to push them offshore and south where they are (hopefully) protected more (Note I didn't say completely!). This makes them relatively easy pickings. Next they have to run the net gauntlet to spawn. Makes it hard to keep the breeding stock healthy...
Having said that, I'm glad for the fishermen. Better than a gillnet.
