Hook restrictions on Striped Bass

[blue oyster]

so many issues , when i fish live bait i use nothing but circle hooks with great success but a circle hook not fished properly will cause more damage , bigger issues are trawler bycatch , poaching breaders prespawn , omega killing every pogie that swims , comm fishing highgrading , ect. , that said i am in favor of a 1 fish limit but how about some help on the larger issues .

Give up ALL hooks.......

And say hello to "Down-easter hand-fishing"!
It can be done from shore or from boat!
Find breaking fish and jump on in!!!

Seems like addressing the hook aspect now is like closing the barn door after the horse has gone, and the barn has burned down!

I also like the "bandaid on severed limb: comparison too!
