JohnR you are on the right track!!!! Commercial fishing at this time are allowed 800 thousand lbs. It is a small dent in the number of stripe bass.RECREATIONAL fishermen catch 2.5-3 million lbs. per year in Mass. with a one fish limit. Lets not be greedy recreational fishermen. You are going to be allowed 2 fish per person per day. Just think that you will be catching 4-6 million lbs. of fish compare that to the 1 million lbs. the commercial guys will be catching. Also keep in mind that most commercial fishermen also are recreational fishermen. Have you caught fish with slime on them??? That is a sign of to many fish in an area. There will always be plenty of fish as long as a disease does not come into the equation which has already taken place in the Chesapeak from over population.

Mr. Sandman please open your eyes Don't believe everything you read.
