Johnsfolly Posted Friday at 09:03 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:03 PM More bad news for the stripers in the Chesapeake. Are we looking at another complete moratorium in the Bay/Eastern seaboard like back in the eighties? https://www.wboc.com/news/more-striped-bass-restrictions-possible-for-chesapeake-bay-fisheries/article_abca55b6-9231-11ef-ab45-97bc3b3c59ef.html BilletHead and dpitt 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted Friday at 09:17 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:17 PM Do they have a reason for the decline? Overfishing? Loss of spawning habitat? Blue cats? Johnsfolly and dpitt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrierman Posted Friday at 10:27 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:27 PM The biologists will figure it out. Hope the politicians get on board with taking care of a fishery. Sometimes, just knowing the answer to a question isn't enough. Other times we humans do OK. Johnsfolly and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpitt Posted Friday at 10:28 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:28 PM That's a bummer, had a chance to take a fly fishing trip in Chesapeake bay, got caught in a wicked storm on way back to the boat ramp, very Nautical, giant swells. We where in a 20' skiff, new it was dicey conditions, guide had to work the throttle to handle the swells and following seas. He was cool as a cucumber, kind of like when you check out the body language of a flight crew when things get wonky on a flight. That is until we got back the ramp, where he admitted he was a bit worried, we where all soaked Other than that, very beautiful and fishey place.
