I think it would be a disaster to the stripe bass fishery if they open the EEZ. yes there are some people that probably fish in the closed area, and I know that one or two enviromentals fish it and keep a fish or two, but if it is open there would be alot more fishing it and depleteing the resource. Not all stripers come in shore.
Gillnetters and draggers do alot of damage to the stripe bass population in the EEZ with the incindental catch. Do we need any more pressure ? ?
