again- I'm sympathetic to the guys that may feel some hardship if their business suffers as a result of bad reductions.


But- this is a democracy, right?

Well that's a good sign that that many Rec fisherman and shore fishermen are so involved. After all they are responsible for the majority of dead stripers. Both harvested and dead discards .
I'd be willing to bet some of you guys that fish every day and release the majority of your fish still kill more than we do on our boat in a year.
Perhaps you should change species
We are all in agreement that striped bass could use a little help. But we don't agree on is whether the math that is been calculated will achieve the same result.
I believe it does . Even in a democracy sometimes the majority does not get to drive the minority out of business over pettiness .
