Ron - let me post this is in big and clear text.
Regardless if you make money off of them or not, whether you:
Commercially Fish for them
Sell the meat to others
Sell the Experience to others
Run a website
Sell tackle
Make tackle
Sell videos, Books, Artwork, jewelry or tattoos
Are a hardcore bass addict or you are a freickin beach bum with a passing interest in striped bass
The fishery benefits from having a better, thriving fishery with good numbers of fish distributed across all year classes.
As anglers, it behooves us to protect this fishery.
I am such a hypocrite that for 6-7 years now I have been an advocate for going back to pre-2006 Rec/Comm regulations, and then taking off another 33% of the take.
And yes, those numbers would require a closed season for recreational.

You seem to want every fish you can get your hands on - if not, then what do you want. What do YOU define as a healthy fishery?
