  3. Ban Gill Nets on the Chesapeake

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    Please Sign Petition to Ban Nets in the Chesapeake Bay

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Many of you may be aware of the rampant problem with illegal gill netting of striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay. Literally tons and tons of fish, many breeding stock fish, are being netting illegally and sold out of state. This is a big problem for Maryland and the Striped Bass population as a whole. It is estimated that 75% of all East Coast stripers spawn in the Chesapeake and the illegal netting is having a big impact on the population of these fish along the entire coast.

    There is a grass roots effort in Maryland to support a petition that calls for the ban of commercial nets in the Chesapeake Bay. This is not an anti-Commercial fishing initiative, but an effort to ban nets. Nets are indiscriminate and can kill thousands of fish in a single set. Maryland has a long-standing tradition on the Bay and is an important part of the social and economic fabric of many local communities within Maryland. The goal is to ban nets in the Chesapeake with hopes that commercial fisherman will develop a robust and thriving hook-and-line commercial fishery.

    Please sign the following petition and spread the word to other anglers. It does not matter if you live in another state. Stripers do not know how to read a map and know no state boundaries.

    These signatures we help to support the long term viability of the fishery!

    I don't know about the bankruptcy deal...but that boat you have in your signature needs more pix and a rundown on her. Very nice. Start a thread on her.

    Thanks for the the thumbs up, It is a 1979 O'Neil Jones built in Madison Md. Orginally a charter boat, powered by a 315 Cummins, I have been restoring it for the last 3 years.

  16. yamaha F350 4 STROKE

    Can anyone give me some feedback on the F350 yamaha 4 stroke. I am thinking about getting one for a new boat that I am looking at. Are they having any problems with them? Any input would greatly be appreciated !!!

    Weight is the biggest problem, as an example the Suzuki 300 weighs 604 lbs. and the Yamaha 350 weighs in at 804lbs. 200 pounds for 50 horsepower is not an efficient number. Be sure your boat can handle the extra weight, as some builders do not recommend repowering with the 350.
