RI Striped Bass Meeting

[BasicPatrick]

MA anglers have been bringing the heat. Even NC & VA are going with one fish. ITs really on RI anglers to do their part. If recs don't overwhelm those hearings then it is on our sector for not making this issue too hot to handle.

If RI went with one fish I think you will see a very different ASMFC debate. time see if RI anglers can step up.

I'm more than a little bothered by NY ( I live in NY) taking this BS position of considering 2 fish which looks like it will happen. We are by far the largest bass killing state on the east coast by ASMFC / DEC numbers, and should have taken the leadership position. So here's to hoping little Rhody can show everyone the way. For my part I will make a point of travelling to fish the RI surf this coming year and spend some money when I do. Good luck guys.

I think it's a good idea for a t.v. show:

Striped Bass Wars:

the Boob Parker and Cleavage Erwin and their crews made up of strippers set out to distract RI charter boat captains, in a battle to prevent them from keeping more than 1 @ 28.

I would watch this show....

Correct, that NJ started the ball rolling. But no one in Ct, RI or Mass could make that "other state 2 fish" argument if NY went 1@28.
