I remember to bad old days of the 80's. I don't want to go back. I wish they would just shut it all down for keeping fish. When they open it back up with federal laws for all states. I also think the spawning grounds should be off limits forever.
Massachusetts needs to get out of the stone age and end comm. fishing for striped bass. I'm all for the new regs. but it means nothing without ending comm. fishing.
Commerical fishing is a fu***** joke. 99% of the commerical guys are just guys who want to offset their gas and slip charges. They are not true commerical guys. Close it down.
If things are as bad as they say I would think more people would be worried about the future , but it seems guys are more upset about being inconvenienced over not keeping a fish. If this is where we are at we are already done. Too bad.
