..and pray tell who is the someone I called a nitwit, DMF?? If they think this is the solution to the striper mortality problem they are not in touch with what's really going on with the fishery.
Second point: How the hell do you see either rule as being enforceable? The only people that would adhere to either rule are the ones who practice C&R, don't wantonly kill indescriminently and are not the problem. You think the guys who were out on Brenton Reef during the commercial season in RI, Yo-yoing their brains out and killing 50s like they were blue gill, are going to say: "Well, OK it's 2 in the morning and I'm 2 miles off shore and it's pitch black, I better not yo-yo because it's against the law"? Of course not. It would be the same in Mass.
You know what the real answer is? Make the damn fish a game fish. Stop all commercial fishing up and down the coast from NC to MA and make it 1@36" for the recs. Then you would see results.[/QUOTE]
Enforceable my a$$ What ever happened to SPORTMANSHIP, does every fisherman need a personal EPO to make sure he obeys the laws????????????????
