Striped Bass Stimulus Program - Public Hearings

[Nebe]

let me get this straight.. YOY indexes are all a lot lower than past years, and because recreational take is 13% higher, they are proposing to increase commercial take to equal out the rec take? That is absurd!!!

why not lower the recreational limit?

Yep - pretty stooopid, eh?

I say cut them both back by a third.

1 fish @ 36 rec, comm catch back 33%

I agree. We should be cutting the recreational catch to just one fish. I prefer a slot 26 - 32 so we don't take the really big ones that are key for reproducing. I release the majority of my keepers so it wouldn't impact me anyway.
