Unfortunately, I think there will be a impact on the industry. Most of us here on the boards are respectful of the resource. However, for the average fisherman who is not that serious about it, they might be reluctant to go and opt for fishing for another species when they are around. Just look at what happened when the regs changed for bluefins. One per boat made it very difficult for many to even want to go on a trip. In the past, I just could not get enough guys together for a bluefin trip when the limit was 1 fish. All in all, there will be an impact on the stripers. They need to target those commercial fuc#ers.
