I am not worried about the guys that want to eat striper, I am am worried about the die hard steelheaders out there that think striper have a major effect on the survival rate of salmon and steelhead. They are going to grab their spearguns and hunt the big boys because in their opinion they do the most damage. I have a mutual friend who has this opinion about striper and he dives the river and knows where to find the 20lb+ stripers in the river. Bye Bye striper fishery, I will miss you...and the sad thing is I never got into a big one. I am going out with a big heavy spoon with a treble hook to fish for striper and if I accidentally snag a spear fisherman....oh well
