Rumor has it
This summer the canal will be closed to Commercial fishing for stripers, rec only. I don't comm fish from a boat or from shore and it does not affect me nor do I have an opinion for or against. However, taking advantage of not having public meetings and just going forward with this new regulation about to come out is pretty suspect what the motivation is behind this decision.
I know the canal has been more of a sh i t show the past 5 years but this move just sounds like enforcement is being like government politicians do when things are difficult, they get lazy. They always want the easy way out.
When they made the regulations for a slot this year, did they consider a slot for Comms too? or is that another whole subject....
anyway, hopefully there will be less poaching going on but we will see.
Striped bass are too valuable a resource to catch just once.
