With current spring trophy season closure looming, I had a thought. When i was a teenager, no rock fishing was allowed, the moratorium. I clearly remember those large ships out in the bay harvesting menhaden during the closure. After the ban was lifted, didn't we have some banner years of striper fishing in the early 2000s? I read on alot of posts people bashing Omega, but they have been fishing during the good times and the bad. The closures are what seem to boost the populations and quality of fish from my observations. Change my mind, lol.
