It can’t hurt the biomass but It comes a little late to have an affect on spawning fish. I thought it was supposed to help the numbers of fish migrating from Chesapeake and south where limits have been more liberal. If all states on east coast have to adopt these regs it should have a positive affect on the biomass. I’m more into striper fishing for the purpose of catching them rather than eating them. If this results in catching better numbers of quality fish more consistently, then I’m OK with it.

The whole thing is a dime short and a day late. If they reduced the catch to one fish 10 years ago we would have been much better off.

Folks who post on njfishing.com are livid to say the least.
IMO the problem is Virginia catering to the Omega Company.

That's only a small part of the puzzle Major. They just destroy the forage base and kill millions of fish in by catch. As I said before, solutions were a day late and a dime short. There should have been a one fish limit 10 years ago.

It's WAY too little, WAY too late. Fishing is a big problem, Omega decimating the Menhaden is a big problem and now, Blue cats are eating anything that will fit in their gaping maws. Gotta fix the whole problem, not just throw a Bandaid on it. I like how it was to take effect after the trophy season here in Taxistan. My take is and a few other people I talk to is it's a question of when, not if the fishery is going to crash like it did in NC.

Watch The Fisherman mag video, this is to preserve the fish class of 2015. There's a whole formula on how they did it.

Yes just like the wiped the herring from the Delaware river. Commercial trucks for the bait and tackle ships with 500 gallon ranks in the back of the pickup trucks waiting for boats to drop them off. And guys with cages in the bay and river. All the herring liveliness wiped em out. They could just catch what they needed caught them in mass. Brutal. Now it's illegal to target herring.
