i'm hungry enough so are my kids . so all you [ apparently he couldn't spell "pathetic"] fools can go back to you're desks and quit you're whinning.

Why don't you bring something constructive to this instead of just being an jackass?

I believe in a slot, I believe in a reduction in the comm catch and I believe in mostly shutting down the commercial menhaden and herring fisheries. Leave some for the commercial lobstermen and some for the comm/rec anglers, some for healthy dietary foods but not for cat food, fertilizer, and lubricants.

Do you think that overfishing is good? Obviously you can't be commercial bass fisherman because, yes, you WOULD starve doing that. You MUST be doing other kinds of fishing. So let me ask you something - do YOU think the fisheries, even commercial fishing, would benefit by more forage fish?

As for your "pathetic" comment, I think you were pretty pathetic with it.... unless you happened to spell that wrong which I doubt.

Oh, and sponsorship here has zero bearing on how we discuss fisheries stuff. Unlike a lot of the "sponsors" in the National Fisherman . Never has and nerver will. StripersForever doesn't exactly have a link here either....

the striped bass is too valuable to be persued by select comercial interests it does not deserve to be caught by gillnets and meat fisherman. the striped bass should be treated like the amazing creature it is. i only keep a striper every once and a while and i wont keep a fish over 40inches to preserve the spawing stock. i want to see a slot limit put in place in every state to protect the spawing stock

here on this link there is a slide show of how they used to net stripers it rather sicking http://www.noreast.com/homepage/index.cfm scroll down the right of the page until you see the boxed pic of dead stripers it has a link next to the pic that says slide show WATCH IT THINK ABOUT IT

John, for the love of God! End this stupid thread!

God! Maybe, since it is such an icon of nobility, we should just completely ban fishing for stripers?

Brad Burns has a solution looking for a problem.

DMF proposal to allow dealers to sell during April through November striped bass legally caught and documented from out-of-state. Whole fish would have to conform to the Massachusetts 34” minimum size and bear an official tag designating state of origin. This proposal does not alter the existing rules governing imported striped bass during December through March.
