That it will, because the ASMFC is floating talk about a 40% across the board reduction in bass mortality after these much ballyhooed "stock assessments" coming up, and if that doesn't come to pass, I predict that we'll see a huge groundswell of support for gamefish status. |

Yep. My sources say they ripped it up down there. Many many guys limiting out, every day. Flattened out the market price here, then sold to NY and flattened the prices there too.

I've heard the idea of them making the striped bass a game fish being thrown around by quite a few people. But, I am wondering what would that mean? Slot limits? 1 a day? close of commercial? Or is it different for every game fish? I am really curious what it would entail. |

Gamefish = no sale = no commercial fishery at all. Maine, NH, CT, NJ and PA are all currently "gamefish" states where there's no commercial striped bass fishing allowed. |
