Every program is unenforceable unless you hire an army of EPOs. So, close it down. Period. Like they did for the moratorium. Everything I see tells me the stocks are in trouble again. I don't care who is responsible. In the future there will be no sustainable striper population and who you gonna blame?
Some states are realizing that Stripers are worth more to the economy alive than dead so there is a small movement to protect the brood stock. What the hell is so *&^^%% hard to comprehend.
You keep killing all the big fish, there won't be any little fish so just close the fishery and make it a gamefish after the stocks recover.
