    It’s pretty pathetic.

    Yes, I have been keeping up with this info.  There is an organization in Portland, Maine called Stripers Forever that is trying to get striped bass designated as a game fish only.  Several states including Md. where I live allows commercial harvest of stripers.  
    Anyway, this organization asked people to write letters to N. C. Fisheries to stop this harvest of fish and they came thru.  A real victory to me.  
    Stripers Forever costs nothing to join and there people in Maine are volunteers.
    If you would, please Google CCA of Md. and read about the illegal netting of stripers that just occurred in Maryland.

    I have been following it.  Allan Dozier (on this board) and I fish the striper run every year.  If we manage to catch a few, we put them back.  (Like that minnow in my picture from the Roanoke at Weldon).
