ASMFC has issued Amendment 7 to the Interstate Striped Bass Mgt. Plan - buried in this massive document is Sub-option B2. Spawning Area Closures, (around page 62) which is one of the options put forth to address recreational release mortality. The two spawning closure options would affect the Hudson in two ways: 1) No striped bass harvest in the Hudson River; and/or 2) No fishing for striped bass on Hudson River spawning grounds during peak spawning for at least two weeks.
This is an unacceptable Mgt option for Hudson River anglers - voice yoru opposition by sending an e-Mail to
