Before it's too late.There are some damn good fishermen on this site and several others. None of us would be worth a damn at it without the fish. Ron

I wish you all the best of Luck, Probably may want to Look into Stripersforever or something along with your state and federal governments. I personally think it will be a little tough for you to get a moratorium based on your research from books and statistics at this stage especially with Easily filled Com Quotas and Rec Catches in the several hundreds of thousands, (I think recently the netters down in NC dumped around 20,000, (You gave that figure) dead bass into the ocean because they were over their limits a bit). You also have to prove that all these scientists dont know what they are doing and they are wrong. Remember, just this year they wanted to increase commercial quotas by 10 percent...
While you are at it You may also want to consider doing something about the Bait problem in New England, those fish will need a sustainable food supply and there really isnt much around inshore. Down here in NJ and LI the Bunker boats were kicked offshore, not allowed in the Bays. Its one of the reasons we have enjoyed such Fantastic runs of fish the last few years! Its nice to have miles of bunker along the beaches and bays....
