ATLANTIC STRIPED BASS ASSESSMENT SUMMARY FOR 2013

[Eric Roach]

I just don't get you guys who think the fishery is just fine.

Even if you consistently do well on the water, how can you ignore the experiences of all your surf casting peers?

The numbers of fish continue to decline year to year. It's truly sad.

If they looked at the 2012 ASMFC total catch graph, they would see the recreational catch is down 60% in 6 years. Depends on your definition of fine.

This basically sums up how I feel.
