Given how iffy the striper population has been overall (even if I am catching more schoolies than average) this seems like a good idea. I don't think it's a panacea, and really what we need are conservation measures that protect the striper forage base and spawning habitat, but this can't hurt honestly and it's better to put in place measures like this when the population is at "moderate concern" levels and not "verge of extinction" levels"
