I can only speak for myself. I do not point blame at any one source,
but the lions share of the problem falls on the government. Their
lack of ability to manage the resource and enforce law.
My home waters are in the western Long island sound. For the last
two years they are practically void of life. Last year being the
worst. I love fishing and fishing for striped bass. The quality and
quantity I had in my backyard, I can no longer enjoy. Its gone.
I am not perfect. I do not go to these political hearings. Over the
years, I have watched surfcasters harvest fish over limit. I have
boarded charters and made it a point to limit. My own ignorance
contributed to the fall of the fishery.
Really It would be my preference to be in a moratorium. The 1 fish
per angler is a compromise. Any party who argues that we or they
should have 2 fish per angler is really requesting no change and
frankly does not care about the fishery.
Its a heated issue because we are all in a bad place and we are all to
blame. The fishery is hanging by a thread and some parties seem
interested in taking a knife to whats left.

Thank you .
I still believe there are a lot of factors and most of them have a far greater bearing on the population then going after the charterboats . I just find it interesting that this is where many here have decided to pick thier battle. Their only battle !
It's symbol of a substance and it won't accomplishes anything .
