Hook and line

[Matt]

great rhetorical question. Yes, recs are responsible for their actions. When you say "can it all be traced back to comms" do you mean all commercial overfishing be traced back to comms or are you asking if some commercial overfishing should also be blamed on recs?

They upped the Hook & line from 200# to 400# a day because there were so many fish.They didn't double the recs from 2 to 4 fish though?It's costing more and more for less and less.

Capt. Nick, the hook and line daily quota has been the same for several years. As a matter of fact they have just cut the daily hook and line quota, as well as the number of days they can fish.

This type of thread is expected. Chesapeake Rockfish are on the verge of collapse, and all user groups are left to squabble over the crumbs.

Paxfish: that is a bunch of CRAP ! The Striped Bass population is no where near collapse ! What information are you reading that says the Striped Bass population is on the verge of collapse ??

gravedigging. This is an old thread about the new collapse of striped bass. We need a new thread about the collapse of striped bass. Maybe DNR will start the thread. I can see it now. "Striped Bass are not overfished. Come visit the Net state. Our Bay is covered in nets."

Matt: out of curiosity, have you or anyone on here that wants to BAN THE NETS ever fished with a gill net ??
