]]> Comment on ASMFC Approves Commercial Increase Addendum for Public Comment by Herb Ellington http://www.reel-time.com/articles/saltwater-fishing/asmfc-approves-commercial-increase-addendum-for-public-comment/#comment-1110 Herb Ellington Wed, 16 Feb 2011 00:19:35 +0000 http://www.reel-time.com/?p=13895#comment-1110 I am asking for the ASMFC to help us North Carolinas who cherish the return of the striped bass to our state managed waters. I request that the ASMFC take a close look at the recent set of decisions made by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries concerning the striped bass. I gravely fear that political and economic conditions are putting the striped bass fish stocks manged by NCDMF at a serious risk. I highly value the return of the striped bass to our state waters and want to see the striped bass population remain healthy. The recent mangement decisions made by our local management group does not support the long term interest of the striped bass. I call for the ASMFC to step in and stop the commerical harvest of the striped bass in North Carolina waters. Please help North Carolina join the other states of the Mid Atlantic area in protecting the striped bass from the senseless mismanagement that is presently being practiced in North Carolina. It is with sadness and embrassment that the once proud State of North Carolina has fallen to pressures with a very short sighted goal. I also request any suggestions that the ASMFC may have for one man to do what he can to help protect the striped bass. Please reply if possible with any suggestions you may have. I will do what one man can do. The striped bass and I am in need your help.

Peter makes some sick videos. That was our first successful offshore trip this year. There were many more after. As the seasons winds down, I'd have to say that it was a real good one. On another note... How come no one told me about that bald spot on the top of my head? No wonder I'm always getting sun-burnt up there... Awesome… Peter makes some sick videos.

The final tally for NY Public Comment was 790 against the addendum and 17 for. If our representatives ignored overwhelming opinion for the sake of a more conservative position, they would be acting in accordance with common sense, and with what I believe the basic asmfc guidelines are. Instead, they chose to ignore the angling Public and forge ahead with their vote to increase commercial striped bass fishing. I can only wonder exactly who does our asmfc representatives think they represent - the 17 individuals in favor of the addendum, or the other 97.8 percent?
