Did you guys already forget what the ASMFC technical committee did last year? If its the same this year you can look for the size limits to go up and the bag limits to go down. Last year they thought that we were overfishing them, but they wanted to wait until this year to get better data.
The prime breeding size are roughtly 34 to 44 inch fish. The larger ones produce less eggs per pound of fish and there are a lot more of the smaller ones. So in terms of the biomass, the 34-44 inch fish are the "workhorse" breeders.

Does anyone else besides me think that there are better eating fish than striper?
They are a blast to hunt and catch, but frankly, I think they taste like muddy cardboard compared to other critters you might save for the table.
The best (non-battered) striper recipe I've ever had was at Lola's in Oak Bluffs (MV), but it was just okay.
Sometimes I wonder if bluefish and skate wings taste better!

iluvstots - Striper is very tastey not every day, but while they are around, they're on my menu a couple times a month . I gut and ice fish immediately, dry filet with paper towel, rub with olive oil, salt and pepper, hot hot grill 7 minutes first side, 5 minutes second side. yummy.
I'm not wise to the science of bass reproduction, but I like the idea of a slot limit, 1 fish 18" - 24", one over 40".

Another vote for 1 fish and 36". I noticed the same thing as others have mentioned. It seemed that there were bigger (and more) fish around when those were the rules. There were 34 and 35 inch everywhere.
