It was discussed and agreed to,by all members present , that the commercial ocean Striped Bass quota should not be increased. It was also unanimously agreed that the rec limits should be reduced to one fish per person and the captain and mate of charter boats should be prevented from keeping any fish.

Thanks Reds, I got no love on my request for info on the other board.
This is encouraging considering the majority of TFAC members are commercial waterman (members :

And I assume the one per person reg for recs is during the regular season as Trophy season is already 1 per person. Could this mean if the MD rec limits are adjusted to reduce harvest, will the reduction be moved over to the commercial side i.e. total harvest stays status quo, change the rec/comm allocation? Or is the rec/comm allocation for MD (not coastal) set in stone?
thanks for the update
