yeah, thats a bummer to watch, but...add up all the members here and add up the catches in a night from the members who were out fishing and its about the same as that haul. Who is worse??
The stripers belong to everyone not just recreational anglers.

Draggers do worse in our waters east of Chatham in the fall.

And then get shoveled over the side in a lot of cases to rot b/c the season is closed.
Nobody likes seeing sausage made, but right now it is legal... change the system, change the tactics..... |

While that may be true from a Catch perspective,
our release ratio is quite another factor and a huge part of NE surfcasting.
Also, the majority of our NE kill is NOT dinks. There was a SIGNIFICANT number of shoolies in that haul. A DISGUSTING number of teeny fish that will never become Big Gurls.
I've no problem with the commershes taking their allotted amount,
but that sheeeet cain't be legal, so many rats, huh Nebe!?? |

Couldn't agree more.
Typical "shock" video where everyone gets all up in arms without ever considering the big picture, or better yet, the facts. |

I can't see the video on this computer and I am sure it would disgust me... However, I also agree that the commercial harvest pails in comparison to the rec. harvest in terms of #'s of stripers.
In 1999 the rec harvest was 6000 metric tons and the commercial harvest 3000 metric tons. In 2005 the rec harvest was 11,900 metric tons and the commercial harvest was still 3000 metric tons.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Probably comparable to a good day on upper Narragansett Bay this past June when the menhaden blitz was going on.
The seiners have a quota - when they fill it it's over for them. I used to get upset over this but not anymore.

are all of the guys freaking out opposed to all commercial fishing?
This doesn't bother me at all. very slow , very inefficient.
I would wager that the take in this three day season is a drop in the bucket compared to the Mass. comm season.
And neither of those are even on the same chart if you start comparing to what mid-water trawlers are doing to other species.
But I guess only us rec.'s are allowed to eat striped bass....

How come pictures like this don't get people outraged. More fish are most likely killed and for what? A picture on the wall and to feed the neighbors. Although i do agree, filming anytype of commercial fishing especially of the beloved striped bass should be a no no, gets everyones panties all up in a bunch

DZ-
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the video - probably similar kills when the pogies have been so concentrated in our own Bay the past couple years. |

Thank you.
and to reply to bassdawg, If i had my way we would only be allowed to keep schoolies and fish over 40 lbs..
schoolies are good because there are more males in the bunch.
over 40 is good because they have had dozens of opportunities to spawn. |
