Re: 2025 Striped Bass Regulations
I think I would be OK with changing the slot since if you keep on pounding fish of a certain age/inch class when the recruitment (new fish coming into the fishery) was better then, you're targeting the future of the fishery.
I also believe our local fishery is and has been in a much better place then the Chesapeake Bay fishery because we sucked it up, took care of it and made the hard choices and sacrifices. Chesapeake is the scene of of the crime so punish them, not us.
As far as the commercial fishery is concerned, they represent a very small portion of this fishery and any changes made there wouldn't move the needle and be inconsequential.
