Furthermore, there is the Blue Catfish (a manmade problem) which are eating everything in the Bay including young-of-the-year Striped Bass and larvae. New Jersey does not have a commercial Striped Bass fishery. A small percentage is dedicated to the Bonus Tag program. There are several states with commercial Striped Bass fisheries that are very eager to get the regulations changed to transfer New Jersey's un-used commercial Striped Bass quota to their commercial Striped Bass quota, which would result in more Striped Bass being caught and killed.
