tell me the state of the fishery,becuase I don't know about you but I'am not having a hard time finding fish of many sizes and year classes any time recentily and I fish 100% from shore if I had a boat I would see alot more fish for sure.don't get me wrong I don't want to see a blood bath.And that is way I was against the first set of rules.Imo they were set up for a blood bath.I really do believe the new rules are going in the right direction.Right now the striped bass biggest problems are a lack of forage that will effect them in a bigger way then a contest that ends in sept. which is also a good thing.like it or not millions of pounds of striper,is harvested every year you can't blame that on otw.
