The only provision I agree with is the no gaffing rule.
The slot is stupid- tell me how this will protect the striped bass population? Not picking on the commercial guys, but putting more limitations on rec fishing at a limit of 1 per day is a ridiculous way to protect the resource if it's getting tight. Commercial take is where the numbers are. Not saying to shut them down, but that's where you pull the levers to find the right balance between harvest and conservation.
