Commercial Striped Bass Season Opens Today

   If you thought the fishing grounds were crowded, you may want to avoid Tuesdays and Thursdays.   The commercial season allows 30 fish per day with a minimum length of 34″. Sundays are also open for commercial harvest, but only 5 fish. Once the limit of a little over 1MM pounds is caught, the season will end.
