I was at striped day and I can tell you that there was no one there saying that the fishery is NOT in trouble. I was surprised by it. These fish are valuable, not only for Sportfishing, but also for the charter boat fleet as well.
When the charter boats keep on taking boat limits of fish multiple times a day, all they are doing is putting themselves out of business. It is not a sustainable business model as the fish do not fall out of trees at 30 plus pounds.
If you would like the PDF of the latest stock assessment send an e mail to aaron@westbranchholdings.com I will be more than happy to send it to you or anyone on the forum who would like to read it. |
Maybe we should ban charter boats?Bluefish excuse?NO! That hurts the PB boats because if they have one striper in the box they can not cross the three mile line and chase bluefish.
