Default If they make the Striped Bass limit one will you still go?

Just wondering how many anglers would still charter or go on a party boat if the striped bass limit is reduced to one fish.In reality one striper yields a lot of fillet.Don't think this can't happen.Although NJ has the spawning bass from the Hudson we still might get screwed!Producer states should be allowed a reasonable bag limit.What are your feelings on this matter?

I'll still go. I don't like eating them anyway. Catch and release is fine with me.

I would still go as most of my fishing is with jigs. Jig fish are easily released and generally hooked in the lip .

Wouldnt make a difference to me....I keep a fish for dinner and chowder but try to release most that I catch if theyre able to swim away. I enjoy the sport, not looking for the kill

I'd still go. I'd probably go if the limit were -0-, especially if I caught more.

The spawning stock are from 28"-45" so roughly 12-40lbs.

So all you guys hammering the stripers day in and out are the cause for the slower striper seasons as of late.

This is pure fact. You can't blame the commercial fishery on this at all.

Fish over 45lbs eggs start to lose viability. By the time a striper is pushing 50lbs their eggs in most, are not viable.

So throwing back 50lb fish really does nothing.
