Mass. weighs tougher protections for striped bass

[MAKAI]

Speaking of "Data"
I have been all over the web looking at "scientific "research findings on the state of the atlantic striped bass population. The cumulative data from many various sources is so convoluted, how the hell does anyone really know what the real truth is. Use whatever suits your needs I guess.
I believe the true fate of bass lies in the ignorance of the failing nursery ecosystems.( Bob Pond use to harp on this years ago ) Got to replace what we keep somehow or all this trash talking is a mute point.
We'll all be plugging for sculpins.

No one wants to be told you may have to take a hit in your income. I wish I had a forum like this to voice my frustrations to the fact that for the last 2 years we have had to drop our prices almost 20% just to stay in business. It sucks, would have been therapeutic.
