They are being beat up and raped by the small charter boats off NC and the Chesapeake, and soon the guys up North will do the same.

But the numbers are dwindling very fast. This is shaping up like the collapse back in the 80's when it was do to Commercial fishing only this time it's the small charter and private boats that are doing what they hated the commercial guys doing.

Any other questions?

No you are not. In the wording of the regulations how is that not considered "attempting to take"?

What are your sources for the "dwindling fast" assertion? Seems to me striper fishing had been strong as ever until Sandy hit. One hopes the fishery isn't as fragile as you claim and no doubt an eye should be kept on it but where's the proof it's in trouble now?

There's also no comparison with a 2 (3) fish per man limit on a six pack to the devestation that the commercial guys wrought.

We do not keep any fish in our north jersey rivers ....and we really think twice about chowing down on ocean runners .. just due to the fact we catch tagged fish from other states in the Passaic and Hackensack rivers....so think again when eating that big cow, that one winter or summer dine on some of those delicious bait buffets of our east cost rivers(all of them are polluted) just release as many as possible and eat the deep hooks.
