Stripers

Any time a group of people in charge of making important changes, make moves that defy logic, you know there is some shady backroom business going on...
I wrote my letter, but I have zero faith in the ASMFC .

Hi Pete. Long time . Hope alls good.
We re on a letter writing mission at the club to show more representation. Yes you probably are right. Money talks and BS walks!
More rec guys need to show support. The other side has a $ motive and recs have a conservative motive. We can only do are part in what we believe is right for the specie. George from the club has been are advocate and getting the club informed throughout years of dealing with ASMFC.

Hey Billy !!! I definitely sent an email... I hope SOMEHOW, they will make some meaningful changes, instead of kicking the can down the road.

I havent been on here, or on ANY fishing related site for most of the season. Now that fishing is over, I can tune in and talk about it since there's no option to go do it.

I came online to see what guys were saying about the ASMFC .

Hopefully I can contribute something of substance on here this winter! hahaha

Remember back when there was a closure for all striper fishing? Well at the time we were told that the population was so depleted that the closure was warranted. At the same time I saw pictures taken offshore by a spotter plane pilot that showed huge schools of Striped Bass. They were feeding on Ocean Herring! Well the inshore Herring were depleted and the food was offshore so that's where they went to eat. If they only check inshore and not count fish offshore how can one get an accurate count? Also how can leaving the breeders in the water to breed not be beneficial to the species? I would love to harvest a 20 inch fish for the table than a 40+ fish any day
