Striped Bass Size Limits

[Billfish715]

Virginia Setting Max Size for Striped Bass! This appeared on another state's message board. Search around and you'll find it. I didn't think Gerry would want me to post the site but if you like striper fishing and check other "online" sites, you'll find it.

Anyhow, Virginia evidently will implement a mandatory maximum size limit to protect their (our) future striped bass fishery. Mind you, Virginia is the only state to mandate a maximum size limit.........so far. The message board is lighting up with comments from Virginia fishermen. Needless to say, the "minimum" size limits in neighboring Maryland are much different.

It's an interesting concept especially since Virginia takes pride in its "citation" striped bass fishery. I think the program was just dumped on the fishermen by the Virginia secretary of Natural Resources. It's causing quite a stir. Keep an eye on it. It might be coming to a state near you!
