Now will this closed season be for EVERYONE or just a certain group, region or states?
To be truly effective it would have to be industry wide, from Canada to the Keys and west to Texas (depending on whether the gulf striper populations are in the same dire condition).
To make this be ultimately successful you will also need a closed season for all fishing within XX miles of shore. That means no nets, no draggers, no fishing whatsoever, or you won't be making much of a difference in the long haul.
Since this year sucked for me, I already had a "closed season", imposed by nature herself.
Fortunately I had a very good freshwater season, even with the low water conditions.
