Alot of excellent points here,,I for one believe the biggest concern is in fact that lack of forage or menhaden along the entire east coast.
Although there have been some possitive signs just this past year here in NJ in regards to that fact... Conitinued efforts to protect the baitfish is key to the healthy growth of our current fish stocks...
I think we are on the right track here but there has to be more of a joint effort between both the RECS and COMMS to continue any population growth of the Striped Bass...
I am not calling for a complete Banning of Commercial Harvest along all of our shores but maybe some better regulations on the commercial groups to protect both the mature bass and the netting of the young bass in nursery areas...
And within the commercial sector we need better inforcement and a a increase off fines and penalties, to elimate any illegal activity that seems to happen year after year...
