Combined NC Beach Siene Carnage Video Thread

[DZ]

Probably comparable to a good day on upper Narragansett Bay this past June when the menhaden blitz was going on.
The seiners have a quota - when they fill it it's over for them. I used to get upset over this but not anymore.

are all of the guys freaking out opposed to all commercial fishing?

This doesn't bother me at all. very slow , very inefficient.

I would wager that the take in this three day season is a drop in the bucket compared to the Mass. comm season.

And neither of those are even on the same chart if you start comparing to what mid-water trawlers are doing to other species.

But I guess only us rec.'s are allowed to eat striped bass....

THINK

FYI...
28" limit and 50 fish total .......more in HTML

NC rules and regulations regarding commercial beach seining...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the penalties for those that break the commercial laws.... in PDF

IMHO it's a bloody joke...

How come pictures like this don't get people outraged. More fish are most likely killed and for what? A picture on the wall and to feed the neighbors. Although i do agree, filming anytype of commercial fishing especially of the beloved striped bass should be a no no, gets everyones panties all up in a bunch

wasn't there a truck commercial a while back where the guy was fishing from his pickup truck and landed his fish by driving up the beach with the rod hanging off of the back of his truck hauling the beast out of the water? maybe it was a beer commercial, this is the exact polar opposite of "skishing", a brand new extreme sport, "liquored-up hillbillie pickup truck fishing"....don't they have piping plovers in NC ?

DZ-

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the video - probably similar kills when the pogies have been so concentrated in our own Bay the past couple years.

Wish they would make the law the same right up the whole striper coast .. I didn't keep 1 fish this year . Makes me mad our conservation effort lining that guys pockets . I'm sure this video is just the tip of the iceburg ..
