Well fishinfreak an cowhunter I've been a member of Stripers Unlimited,CCA,Stripers Forever,RFA an many local an state clubs. Don't ever remember striper forever supporting stupidity like 3 fish 28 in as its a group to preserve the fish not kill more.All the way back in the 70's it was the same I make a buck off the fish so there are loads of them.Sport fishermen do catch an kill more fish. DAAAA there are only a few million more of them than there are comms. So they will. but percentage wise the few comms kill a higher singular number as far as number of fish killed per angler.How many a day for a comm. MMMMMM a heck of a lot more than 1 or 2 per sportfishermen per day. The quote googans that keep a lot of illegals mostly have a difficult time speakin english so much of that is only knowing what they know from where they came from . to many of them it truly is just for food till they learn our customs.Catch n release to them is like heardin cows to the farm then lettin them go before killin then for meat.thats not fixable for a long time to come.But excess is just that. There is no parety in numbers an percentage for comm an sport as one group is given a much higher catch per angler than the other. Now if comms can only keep 1 or 2 fish like the rest of us well MMMMM might be something to think on. C+R well many of us do that already.I've still not heard the comms say they'll take any cutbacks at all but are very quick to say sports are the problem an should stop wasting political time n money trying to take steps to preserve the Striped Bass.Bob Pond said it best long ago. As long as there is a bounty on the Stripers they will always be exployted an overfished.So many of us now just release about all we catch that it's gonna be harder to do much more than we already do. so we try to educate an speak a bit of reason so we don't end up back where we were in the 80's. But today as back then those small numbers that sell stripers still try to ignore all the rest of what is said. We used to have huge schools of stripers all along the striper coast now there are just a couple left. Food used to be a valid argument but the last couple yrs the ammount of bait up n down the coast is huge.Herrin an macks are all over the place. Sardines are coming back. sand eels are again found in the sand on many beaches. But few or no stripers. Just because someone is catching them in their back yard does not mean that the thousands of anglers not seeing them are all wrong. WE NEED TO PUT THE BRAKES ON TO KEEP IT FROM GETTIN WORSE.EVERYONE needs to cut back.I have a Charte liscence. I dictate what happens on my boat and the shore trips I do my best to teach people conservation minded fishing so their kids can do it too someday.
