I'm glad they are stepping in, and quite honestly if they're going to take action they should do it this year rather than 2015.
That said, Maine's slot limit is ridiculous and failed at accomplishing any sort of conservation.
Maine's overall Striper mortality INCREASED significantly when the slot was implemented. I'll argue all day long its the antithesis of conservation, and if implemented coastwide would destroy the Striper population.
1 fish at 34 or 36 - it worked before, it will work again.
An equivalent cut to the commercial quota as well - if the market supply is controlled adequately, the actual net dollars (higher price for less lbs landed) will not change for the commercial guys.

I totally agree Jay and would luv to see a 10 fish a day quota and a cut from the overall total. |

I keep hearing that 1@36" worked, but wasn't that after the moratorium? Why not try the slot limit like Maine has. If it doesn't work we can change it. Ron

Why re invent the wheel. Change does not come easy. Regardless any plan that eliminates potential breeding fish is counter productive.

FYI ME's slot limit was not designed to reduce the catch, it was supposed to be "conservationally equivalent" to the "normal" 2 fish at 28 inches. |
