Vessels with an Atlantic Ocean Striped Bass Commercial Permit designated for the trawl fishery may transfer up to 2,000 pounds of striped bass to another vessel with the trawl fishery permit in the Atlantic Ocean seaward of the COLREG Demarcation lines (see VIII.E) at the inlets.

NOAA sits back watches and says nothing . .

NC must truly support the 2 PEW puppets (Lubchenco and Obama) who run NOAA. Most states except for closures it's takes months to change Striped bass rules, seems NC does it at will

This transporting of bass means that if any one boat is out there doing better than others they can just keep supllying the all the boats that aren't catching and probably charge that capt. for filling his boat too for side money. WOW This is really bad. Say bye bye to the bass. I am saddened by all of this.
