The Hudson stock is fine as you can see with the great striper fishing in the Raritan Bay Sandy Hook area. It is better now than 20 years ago! The Chesapeak stock is in decline and commercial and recreation both crushed the stock. Now they want a coast wide ridiculous limit at 28-31''? They are making the Northern states pay for the over fishing to the South! We are a PRODUCER STATE and should not be lumped in to one big category. If they do this it will bankrupt for hire vessels and stop recreational interest in this great fishery. It is a lose lose situation. We are screwed by our government in every way possible!!!
