Commercial Fishing for Striped Bass? – Valley Courier

Let’s get right to the point! The states of Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and New Jersey recognize the importance of protecting striped bass status as a game fish from both a recreational and revenue generating point of view. Legislation is currently pending in Massachusetts to accomplish the same goal. Connecticut has protected this migratory fish for years and now its population has rebounded but not necessarily stabilized. For now, recreational anglers are entitled to a 28-inch, two-fish per day creel limit set by the Connecticut DEP.
