I think this whole EEZ thing has ran it's course. I'm all for conservation but gawd forbid some one wants to go out in the ocean and catch some fish using a rod and reel. Nothing like drawing imaginary lines in the ocean.
FastEddie said it best. There are people dropping dead in the streets from heroin overdoses but we have to call out the US Coast Guard because some caught and kept a fish using a rod and reel.

I respectfully disagree.
Stripers get crazy pressure on their whole yearly migration.
The get hammered from Thanksgiving till seasons close in April in their wintering grounds.
Smashed again when they get here May through July.
Then beat on again In RI , MASS, ANd NY from July till October.
Everyone only wants to fish for them when they are like shooting fish in a barrel.
Its nice their is an area where they get a little bit of a break .
While I think not legally being able to C/R out there is beat im sure its because the feel too many guy would take advantage of it and be running back inside the line when their coolers are full of fish

Killing bass in the EZ is like killing trout in the upper Delaware

I don't think the Coast Guard serve the junkies in your town. Their job is on he water and maybe even prevent drug smugglers

REALLY....
The whole idea of conservation is good, as long as it doesn't apply to everyone?

No one thinks they'll get caught. And when they do, there should be HOLY HELL TO PAY. They deserve it.

Should be a $5000 fine, jail and seize the damn boat the second time it happens.
