I totally agree with that. It wouldn't bother me in the least. That being said as long as it is legal I will be out tonite trying to pay for my gas. I actually look forward to the challenge and don't think the stocks have much to worry about with me out there.

I am not talking about rod and reel guys I am talking about the draggers and such which are a contributing factor to the depletion of breeders in the striper stock. I know well off the rod and reel guys do not make a dent in the population compared to accidental kill on certain style of dragers and also the ones who specifically drag for stripers and take the money fish as fast as they can which it is how they make there living and then the others end up in the drink dead from too much time out of the water. Anyway I thought it would have been interesting to some of you striper guys I hope someone finds it as educational as I did.

Peace
