One million pound increase in Chesapeake fishery

[Sea Dangles]

One of these days we will hear on the news of a well intentioned bespectabled angler gone rogue at the canal. It will be a morning in late May with a beautiful sunrise and breaking tide. A disheveled man with no bicycle will emerge from the tracks with an uzi and will introduce himself to jubilant anglers with a shopping cart full of ammo for their consumption.Ala Michael Douglas in the movie Falling Down.Thirty pounders will line the banks and people will attempt to swim for their lives to escape the hero of Morone who has a cape on and the letter N emblazoned on the front.

yes humorous, and I agree with George too, but I bet Chris thinks the same way as well.


it's like every man for himself with this crap
the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but really? not always.
it's truly a shame to see what is happening with the population of stripers

I met a guy out in the bay last year and asked him if he practiced C&R. his response was "why should I? No one else does and anything I put back someone else will catch and kill."

As I said before it's not one group or one state its a coast wide problem that can only be solved by game fish status.

How would "gamefish status" change that mentality?

Mike, I'm sure it wouldn't with that guy. What it would do is put an end to the slaughter that's taking place at Oregon Inlet.

What??? You don't think the Striper stocks are getting depleted again?
