    2025 MD Striped Bass Young of Year Assessment - Make that 7 consecutive spawn failures!!

    Extend state waters out 12 miles , ban dragging off NJ and NY for the next 15 years and stock winter flounder. I guarantee we'll have wonderful winter flounder fishing again . If they don't ban dragging, the flounder will never rebound.
