SPEARGUNNERS FOR MA STRIPERS!
Another Bill brought up for Hearing before the MA Joint Committee Environment and Natural Resources last Thursday at the Boston State House, along with the fateful H796 proposal, was a plea to open striped bass harvest to speargunners also. Interestingly, this interest group made it quite clear that they were also opposed to the passage of the H796.
Their argument stated that it was a mere "oversight" when MA made striped bass a hook and line fish, and this oversight should now be corrected. Also, everybody else (states) does it.
Wow! What do you think? Can they buy a $65 commercial license so to be able to compete in the present existing commercial striped bass fishery? Can they "fish" at night?
