My vision is to fish the tournament accordingly.....with good conservation practices and thoughtfulness in regards to what fish I choose to keep and how many fish I choose to keep! Many folks I am positive will fish it the same and the folks who choose to abuse the fisheries and take more than they need....well they are not going to change regardless of the situation! You are all making good points and obviously we all share the same passion for conservation of the striped bass and the same concerns in regards to the same. The cullers, the poachers who take more than they are allowed by law and the folks who practice poor catch and release and conservation practices will always be the problem. Sure the rules may need tweaking...but given time I am sure OTW will do just that. Police the way in which you fish it and hope others do the same for now......no laws have been broken and all is in bounds and really all we are worried about are those who abuse it......and as long as they adhere to the 2 fish per week rule I don't think it is all that bad......just the accrued points system that needs refinement. You are after all allowed 2 fish a day in Mass........you guys don't seem to be doing nearly as much screaming about that! Maybe you should!
