Massachusetts alone catches 4 million fishg a year..so tell how those numbers are factual..they are not...there have been so many cuts in the survey areas that half the people are surveying anyway...c'mon guys stop reaching let it die...its over you lost...the power grab is done..status quo is and will be the rule.

Yes you won this round. Feel proud your special interest group won. We are closer to the destruction of the striped bass. You guys dont care you will go on to the next species and then decimate it. Watch out there are more of us recs and when the rest of us wake up you may find your self out of business. Yes you won ignorance and greed often do but not over the long haul

Stripers Forever is a special interest group, too, and a pretty stupid amateurish one at that. They haven't done anybody any favors and striped bass would be far better off if they would just go away.

Please don't turn this thread into some rehash of that joke of a bill they threw out there.

Linking to a specific page is difficult on the ASMFC site but this is where it's at.

Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission

Once you get to their home page click "managed spicies" on the right.

Then "stripe bass"

About half way down this page under reports is the 2009 report. Page 15 gives you the numbers
