What's Next?
This recommendation is so focused on striped bass other causitive factors seem downplayed.
Three things that I did pick up on was the mention that in years past when striped bass populations were at their highest so were the populations of delta smelt, longfin smelt, splittail, etc. Newer causitive factors like water diversions didn't get mentioned.
It also was brought up about" TOTAL KEEP AND KILL" of striped bass like that which was done to the pike population in Lake Davis, and, the consideration of even putting a "BOUNTY" on striped bass so as to again totally keep and kill every striped bass in the system. The report did say that both of these last considerations would result in a "nuclear" result to the population, but the fact that it was even considered shows how drastict this department thinks to achieve it's goal.
