I hope everyone has noticed that the White House has made it fair game to drill for oil all up the eastern seaboard.

Boy.. won’t it be great to have all that freedom to fish for striped bass that won’t be there around all those oil rigs?!? God bless Murika

This. And I knew you were going there and was hoping you would. How fisherman, hunters, outdoorsmen, conservationist, etc can still back this administration is beyond me.

I go in a huge argument with a bunch of "fishermen" from NJ last week. Their claim is that no one if fishing in the EEZ, that it is heavily patrolled by enforcement and I am full of crap. Oh well, as Mike P said, they will find out soon enough when the stocks collapse.

In that vain, I met a guy from MV down here (SC) last week. Was a cop on the Vineyard for 30 years, Derby committee member and avid striper fisherman. He said the Vineyard is a "ghost of what it once was" for Stripers.
