I followed this limit garbage for 20 years from MA to VA

IMO, all they have to do is make striped bass a non-commerical (game) fish nation wide. As soon as they take the price off the head ot the fish it will rebound bigtime. END OF STORY!

Some guy in the surf or boat taking a few fish (no matter what the size) has NO impact on the stocks, I support a lower limit that allows the fish to spawn a time or two prior to being caught but this BS about limits and commerical catch is a complete joke from state to state!

Go into a fish market in MD eastern shore and see 9 to 12 inch "rockfish" fish stacked like cord wood, there is your problem. Commerical fishing and the ability to PROFIT from the striped bass should stop. I gave up o all the committes and meetings, these commerical guys thing they have some GOD GIVEN right to profit from fishing for striped bass, and they want NO limits place on them! The take from sports fisherman is lame compared to commerical.

It is not even worth wasting your breath any more. It has been out of control for the last 10 years.
