Anglers interested in striped bass should plan to attend the Striped Bass Forum at the Atlantic City Boat Show on Saturday, February 8 at 4 p.m. A special presentation by NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife biologist Russ Allen will kick off this public discussion about New Jersey's number one gamefish - the striped bass - and what management actions may be on the horizon. (See
http://www.acboatshow.com/attendees/...ars.aspx#id238 for other seminar participants and full seminar schedule.)
Russ will present an overview of the latest Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's (ASMFC) striped bass assessment results, current coastwide stock status, New Jersey's survey results and potential ASMFC management actions. The forum will offer attendees a unique first glimpse at what fisheries managers discussed at the ASMFC Striped Bass Board meeting earlier in the week in Virginia.
Could Russ Allen be our own Russ A???
