Any other questions?
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.
