Yeah, the 50 fish limit at a 40lb average....they were culling them and it was legal. Now its fine to keep the 2,000, further, if they catch more then that they can keep it and use it to offset the later quota. They should make it a hook and line fishery, no more no less.
If you think the NC stuff was bad you should read up on what they were doing in Maryland, guys had illegal nets out holding tons of Stripers in them. Maryland at least had the common sense to shut down the fishery until they found out how many illegal nets were out there.
Lots of writing we all can do. Check out stripersonline.com or stripers forever. Lots and lots of posts and info.
