Massachusetts Proposes Expanded Commercial Striper Fishing

Quota or no quota, given the stock’s current state, wouldn’t it make sense to keep things the way they are?

To give Massachusetts commercial striped bass fishermen greater opportunity to land their full quota of striped bass in 2021, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) is proposing starting the commercial striped bass season a week earlier and increasing the number of open fishing days from two to four.

The proposal comes after commercial striped bass fishermen failed to land their full quota of striped bass in 2019 and again in 2020.
