I deliberately do not participate in this Derby; although, I still own a fishing shack over there, garage a beach buggy, and know a gate owner or two for some privileged access.

When the Derby records some daily Shore Striped Bass weights of 10-12 pounds (especially in the daily 3rd and 4th place slots), it is time for the Derby Committee to seriously consider making a conservation and mind set statement with rule changes regarding this pressured species.

For an example: Derby striped bass deserve Not to be killed in hopes of winning a "mystery prize". Daily striped bass slots should be limited to recognition and "prizes" for daily 1st and 2nd place slots only. Indeed, on some days, the 3rd and 4th place slots did not even fill. Better yet, parents should be showing by example, and teaching their kids that MV striper fishing has sunk to new lows.
