Striped Bass Management

[piemma]

NJ slot will be 28" to less than 31.01". WTF are these guys thinking. It was 28" to 31". Their statement is: "This will lead to more fish 31" being released." Additionally there is a Striped Bass Bonus Program for 1 fish 24" to 28".

I honestly think someone is taking "stupid" pills.

Come on Paulie. No one is that dumb.

It’s all about the money.

Eb, I've been fighting this battle since 06 so 18 years of dealing with this idiotic mentality.

I honestly am not the brightest bulb in the string but I can see this is nonsense. They are burning bridges!

Don’t know if people read the part at the end, but it pointed out that we have now had 5 low years in a row, and last year’s was the second lowest in 66 years. I’m starting to think that the issues are actually as much with the spawning areas in the Chesapeake as they are with SB catching. Could global warming have anything to do with this?

Allot more to do with spawning issues / environment than catches.
