I'm with frank

I agree RB that was humorous.

I don't know Frank but I have no reason to think he can not change his beliefs unless some one I trust tells me otherwise. I hope he preaches C and R more often and in more publications.

While I won't challenge anyone for keeping their limit, especially as long as commercial fishing is allowed for stripers. What I got most from this thread is that we do need to reduce the limit on stripers because we will not self regulate. In reading Frank's article I also agree that as long as there is a price on stripers, illegal sales by both Recs and commercial will continue along with poor catch practices.

The same message is in an article in the May issue of On The Water. Again by a person who used to fish commercially for them. The understanding of what is happening is getting out and to me it doesn't matter who the messenger is as long as it gets out.
