Chairman’s Message – Capt. Frank Crescitelli

A new decade, a new plan of attack! As we finish up our planning and budget meetings for 2010, I am excited, as excited that is, that I can be without having caught a fish in months! If anyone has ever had cabin fever, then you know what I am talking about. At any rate we have laid out our plans for the new year, which include another hard push to make Striped Bass a Game fish in New York. We have a little bit of a head start because right now in the Senate is a bill that will call for the end of commercial fishing in the Hudson River, which by the way is the location of the second largest spawning biomass of Striped Bass in the world.
