Stripers Forever sent out an email to its membership containing this graph* and the following statement: The graphic released with the MD DNR report depicts the numbers of striped bass spawned in the Chesapeake Bay. Since most stripers that migrate north and south along the coast are born in the Chesapeake Bay, the MD DNR graphic indicates how future runs of stripers along the Atlantic Coast will measure up. The outlook for the species is not an optimistic one.” In a second email Stripers Forever sent another note: “On Nov. 2nd the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission – ASMFC – will vote on a proposal to allow states with commercial quotas to transfer the quota that they did not report as caught one year…
