[QUOTE=IdidntDoit]Now you know why the stripers were not in the bay last year. They never made it back from the Hudson river. But NY keeps uping the size limit.
This is something I did not even think was going on in NY effecting NJ waters.
I found the article a must read and thanks for posting
I find it unbelievable that there is not more outrage. This is the second time in a week that I read on this site that a fishing organization is calling for the restriction or exclusion of a fishery just because they thinks so. No science no landing data......just call and write your politician to restrict fishing. Unreal. I will be going to Washington to protest less injustice against fisherman. Do you think our politicians may get a little confused when they get called by the same people and are asked to support a bill to close one fishery and then called the following week to fight to reopen seabass and if they dont they have lost your vote
Things will improve for all when real science ,real landings, and real quotas are used to manage our fisheries. BTW The NY commercial season was originally closed due to pollution(PCB) and not overfishing.
