It’s all about the $$$ and whose wheels are getting greased.Why not follow NJ and no commercial fishing within 3 miles of the beach.This is just my experience just from last year ..Days of catching Stripers out in Montauk last year then the boats with nets came and then we know how that story end.And one last opinion and this is from the likes of Billy the Greek who has caught many a fish,commercially and recreationally, as he claims most of the larger cows are carrying grey roe that are most likely not producing spawn.So wouldn’t it be wiser to move the slot in the opposite direction…just my 2 cents
