While personally I think fish waste is better off at sea then in a dumpster or marina, at this point in time I think a consistant law is needed with surrounding states. (even though I don't agree with the surrounds states law(s))

Also, I think states should do more to educate the fishing public about the benfits of being a good sportsmen. Esp. children. This might help the enforcement issue and actually do some good long term.

fillet on the rocks, on the beach

bleed the fish as soon as you decide to keep it, then fillet when the night is over

I like cleaning my fish on the rocks when done at home it is a mess,and my dog goes nuts,plus some spots it is to hard to walk a fish out.I always keep a plastic bag in my waders to carry the fillets back.

The striped bass fishery is better monitored by the DEM if the bass is whole. This will help prevent illegal activites (undersized bass and exceded bass limits). It is easier to concel fillets then whole bass.
It is convient to clean bass on the rocks but if it can prevent at least one person from illegal activities then I'll sacrivice my convience. Boat fish are no exception to the rule.
