“Stripers need our help now, and if we aren’t a part of the solution we are a part of the problem. ”These magnificent fish are being driven to the edge by ineffective management, and we need to set a strong example with widespread, voluntary catch and release and to put pressure on the ASMFC to do the right thing.” Please visit this link to read the full article: StripersForever.org Comment: Look: The big stripers are not safe for us to eat, and the really big ones include breeder fish. Please, carry a camera with you; learn how to use it; take a photo and put the fish back in the water!! • NOTE: Another article—"Striped Bass: Numbers This Year, Up or Down?"—will be posted later on today.
