This past weekend I received a call from Bruce Cunningham asking if I saw the article in the Cape Cod Times entitled “Massachusetts mismanages the wild striped bass fishery.” The article appeared in the January 27th edition, page 8a, Ideas & Opinion section. Bruce thought it would make some interesting reading for our members. A reprint of the article is below. Massachusetts mismanages the wild striped bass fishery

According to federal data, the recreational wild striped bass fishery in Massachusetts has been trending downward for 17 years. Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Pennsylvania recognize the economic benefits of managing stripers for their greater value as a recreational species and have banned fishing for them commercially. Dean Clark of Marstons Mills and Shrewsbury is on the board of directors of Stripers Forever, a national nonprofit conservation group, and co-chairman of the Massachusetts chapter of Stripers Forever.

While on the topic of fishing, does your license need renewal or are you in need of a new license? (honestly, I did not even know that salt water fishing required a license) Anyway, follow this link for all license needs and questions (on line renewals/applications, costs, locations.)

Dinner @ 6PM
Clam chowder & salad ($10/person)
In 2009 when the state enacted a salt water fishing license the law was met with a lot of skepticism from the angling public. Where would this money go? Was it another money grab from the state? These were some of the questions that were asked. Fortunately, there are groups like the Massachusetts Sportsmen’s Council that went to bat for their constituents. The Sportsmen’s Council went to the State House lobbied for and received a line in the Salt Water Fishing License law dedicating a full third of all money raised to be dedicated to public access. Tonight’s talk will discuss how we choose projects, what has been accomplished so far, and what we are planning for the future.
Ross K. Kessler Please RSVP by February 19, 2018
