Dumping used motor oil in the bay would be unethical and illegal! (Plus I know you wouldn't do it!) Putting an issue of striped bass allocation before the public is a very sound democratic process!

I don't want to sound argumentative because I know what an advocate for recreational fishing you are and I sincerely appreciate all you do. Frankly, I'm a fan of both your work on and off the water. My point is that it doesn't make sense to support the wrong side of an issue just for the sake of generating discussion. I know this is more involved and we will certainly need the future help of the states we voted with, but it still feels like a punch in the gut to recreational fishing.
