Striper meeting rant.

[Rockport24]

doesn't surprise me..
the charter thing just baffles me - one fish is PLENTY for anyone who wants to go home with some fillets... I bet most of the fools who go home with two fish worth of filets end of throwing most of it out, the bastids!

Oh and over on some sites they are already posting pictures of sea robin and cunner!

Sea Robins are worth .02 to the dealer .ya wanner see how many they still get . 100# of fish == 2.00 WTF
Today they had about a dozen Chogies / of the typical 4"-6" size ><> .I havn,t caught a dozen if you add up the last 5 years .

Its really sad that some of the commercial fisherman feel they have to sell everything they catch . their logic .it all adds up

I spoke to guy who mates on a party boat in eastern CT- he said that people leave fish behind on every trip.... they catch (and kill) everything they can, mostly because its the "expectation" that everybody goes home with a lotta fish (even if they don't really want it).

if they were allowed to keep one fish instead of two- most of them would still go. they are there for the "occasion" or the "experience" and will still attend the stag or the retirement party (er whatever)
