ASMFC Striped Bass Draft Addendum III - Plain English Summary

[OVERBORED]

Moratorium? Doubtful

But they do have the power to implement an emergency closure.

As for circle hooks, I'm not sure everyone complies with that rule especially when snagging bunker.

That said, I probably experienced 1/3 of my fish gut hooked even using circle hooks with live bait. Very few gut hooked on chunks.

The worst thing I see is how fish are handled especially bigger fish over 30lbs. The odds of survival when removed from the water for a.picture go way down. Ok won't even bring up the survival rates for Bass released from the deck of a PB!

Has anyone heard of a moratorium for striped bass this fall. I just heard this from a tackle shop.

Zero chance. Can you imagine what these hearings would look like if they did that now. They would need the Secret Service for protection.

Anyone at the meeting last night? I saw Jersey had about 100-people there the other day. Notice the average age of the attendees. These kids have no idea what's coming.

I listened in on the Webinar. There was a little over 100 people on that. Not sure who was in person. It's either Status Quo, or have two different sizes for shore and FH boats, plus different closure seasons. I'm trying to look for the PowerPoint they said would be available on the site. I had to stop listening after an hour do to dinner reservations, so I didn't catch much of the public comments.
