Ignorance is the stripers worst enemy. I have seen it first hand the damage a few guys with no knowledge and a piece of bait can do. I have tried to show and inform people about size limits and releasing fish. The fact of the matter is that 90% of the avg joe's out there could give a rats a$$ about stripers they just want to catch keep and kill as many as they can in there once twice a week fishing excursions. They tell me how they have the right to throw a piece of bait out and if the fish is stupid of enough to bite it that they can keep it. Most joes dont care what you or anyone has to say they will do what they want and its really sad.
Thats part of the reason I'm for a fishing license for saltwater maybe they can hand out informative brochures or something that helps inform the Avg joe about the proper handling of bass and the reason we have bag limits and alittle about the stripers history and other species for that matter. Its just another suggestion to help solve his problem that effects us all now and future generations.
We must find a cure for ignorance!!!!!
Time for some sleep!
