These are folks who are passionate about fishing for striped bass. They are just like you. They wouldn’t be saying anything if the fishing were as good as last year. Or five years ago.or ten years ago,or even 20 years ago. They are so dumb that they wait all winter long dreaming of a tight line with stripes on the end. They have been fishing for them longer than some of these high hookers like ff have been alive. But let’s dismiss their concerns and call the fishery great and call them whiners for being discouraged at the direction the fishery is headed. I believe there will be a moment when we ALL will understand their concerns but the damage will be done. This is no fault of the commercial angler at all. It is simply mismanagement and running a species some old guys love to catch into the ground.
