It is my experience that the fisheries that you mentioned are in worse shape that they were when I first started fishing. I am in my late fifties and have been fishing ever since I could walk. Where I fish things are not better they have been getting worse. Just my onion

MM- sea bass and scup seem to be in good shape- don't even go there on striped bass - wasn't it '86 when we had a moritoriun- that's 28 yrs ago.

please remember that the current stock assessment is about to be 2 years old...... in that time, NOTHING has been done to slow the mortality on a fishery that was in a precipitous decline. I'm guessing that the next assessment shows we are already wayy below the "pre-moratorium" levels of the 80's.

Don, you really think that striped bass fishing is worse today than it was just before the moratorium years? |

I would have too agree with AFTERHOURS. I'm a new tackle shop owner, and I cannot tell you how many people came up to me this year who were asking about what has happened to the stripers. We all had different ideas, but the same theme came back over and over again about the over killing of the bass. The proposed regulations will help, but it will be some time before we see the stock where they need to be.

Then we'll just have to agree to disagree. My experience is that it was much worse during the mid 1980s when I was still fishing out of Montauk. |

Correct Mike - you couldn't find a bass under 10 pounds for two seasons. Was much worse. |
