After the canal bite

[piemma]

So just think! If the powers that be ever pull their heads out of their collective asses and make Striped Bass a gamefish (i.e. no commercial sales) and that blitz took place, think of how many fish would have survived to become 50s, 60s and even 70s.

Florida did it many years ago with Tarpon and Snook and now have a world class fishery.

So just think....If they banned ALL fishing off the banks of the canal how many of those fish.....................

Come on Piemma, it is pretty well established that most of the fishing during that bite was recreational since they have changed the rules from shore. This thread wasn't started on the Comm knock but just as a incredible bite.....

Paul the com sales is the only fish that gets reported,,, unless the com guy takes them home and doesn't report them which most likely wouldn't happen, historical count will help them down the road...

I think the MA DMF can petty much figure out the 2 com fish take from the ditch via buyers reports... The reports for Monday and Thursday should give a good idea me thinks

My guess is the com take didn't come close to what was taken by recs.

Any how... Gamefish would work for me but admit I'd miss com season...

Tog is another story...... Going to "by permit" only soon....
Did I tell you I'm good at clearing land, going to be looking for sumpton to do...
