One persons opinion does not constitute group thought.
Stop trying to read between the lines here. Any objective person who sees this thread would most likely come to the conclusion that most opinions here are simply to reduce the catch to one fish for the sake of conservation, and the future well-being of the species.
Conversely,the group who is lobbying for a 2 fish limit is simply being greedy and cares more about lining their pockets than it does the future of the striped bass.

That's exactly what Mike said !
You think charter guys that want 2 fish don't care about the bass ? Why does everything have to be such an extreme??

I did not say they do not care about the bass. They care about them so much they want to kill twice as many (haha)I just think they would rather make a buck now on their meat rather than err on the side of conservation.
Tell me where that statement is flawed

There are different levels of concern based on one's interpretation of the urgency of the situation. Some people base their decisions on the whole picture and not just one, completely pessimistic analysis of it. It's not the charters are not concerned about the striped bass. To fish at 33 inches is a 25% reduction in their minds and in mine.
It's kind a like hating on the guy that doesn't drive a Prius because you don't really need a big car and you can drive a Prius . It's an inconvenient truth.

You already admitted you can't catch fish so your equivalency is probably very high. 😬

I'm listening to how you guys have been catching for the last few years it sounds like 2 @ 33 would be 100% reduction. You should go for that . 😬
I think there's a lot of hypocrisy going on here to be honest.

My guess is I see a lot more of the whole picture than you do. Maybe not...I don't begrudge any body from trying to grab as much as they can. Seems like the way of the (third) world nowadays. Discussian can be enlightening for those with an open mind. My experiences are not based on one harbor , seldom does a season go by when I have not fished from NY to ME for bass. I know they are there, i also know they are in decline

So what you are really saying is that you don't like the ASMFC's determination that a 25% reduction is warranted and you want a 31% reduction?
How do you feel about NY's proposal which will allow two fish for everyone? |

don't forget, they also claimed that the 25% reduction only had a 50% chance of working. By my math, a 31% reduction is simply a slightly better chance of getting any rebound at all. |
