Mass. weighs tougher protections for striped bass

[CowHunter]

Here in NJ we used to have a great summer fishery. Catch plenty of good sized fish off the surf and boats in June, July, August, September pluggin and eelin. It has been over ten years since that fishery disapeared...
Look at the Cape back beaches the run of migratory big fish from Late August thru november, that has deteriorated since 2002-2003 to being non-existant. Thousand Pound nights off the surf are a distant memory and probably will never come back. ill put stripersforever up there with the seal lovers...
The whole Rhode island Mass shoreline during the summer and fall months is but a single digit fraction of what it used to be.

Cant blame mass commercial for all that....

I always adapt and change, im not one complaining and trying to change the rules....The fishery has changed drastically with many factors causing it. I will always find fish, the people that cant adapt are trying to change the rules to bring the fish to them and in the end it wont make a difference. You always have to go to fish to catch fish....

Change may be coming, but it may not always be for the better.....
