(2) It is illegal for any person to possess Virginia striped bass labels in the Chesapeake Bay Area or striped bass labels with coastal area tags, unless it is transiting through the Chesapeake Bay Area. Then everyone (corporate and charter) goes to the state of Delaware (DNREC). We want to change the limit, can we go to one fish instead? (One year later) The state of Delaware says no, the gate can`t be changed until the baseline score is released in 2018. Coincidentally, in the same year, DNREC began catching anglers who cut shorter striped bass tails to reach the slot limit. Yes, it has become a thing. By the way, cutting off the entire tail makes it a little obvious. E. If the striped bass is in the possession of a person other than the original harvester for resale, the striped bass must be accompanied by a contract of sale containing the seller`s name, approval or licence number, if such a permit or licence is required in the country of harvest. the date of sale, the striped bass books in possession, the location of the catch and the fishing gear used to harvest the striped bass.
If the striped bass product offered for sale consists of fillets, the contract of sale must also specify the number of fillets. 4. The Commission shall authorise the transfer of the commercial harvest quota for striped bass only if the transferor and transferee provide it with up-to-date records of all commercial landings of striped bass and striped bass trailers prior to such transfer. Virginia`s new emergency regulations for striped perch allow anglers to keep a striped bass of 28 to 36 inches. This slot limit is an attempt to stop the fall of striped bass. The old boundaries of the gate allowed one of the two fish to be longer than 28 inches. G. Striped bass tags are only valid for use by the permit tee to which they are assigned. The permit holder must be on board the vessel or vessel when the striped bass is harvested and tags are affixed.
Nothing in this subsection prevents a licensed commercial fisher from designating three crew members who are not registered commercial fishers to assist the fisher in harvesting his striped perch garden. 1. The marine police officer shall obtain at least two bids for the purchase of the seized striped perch from authorized and approved seafood buyers. The seized fish shall be sold to the highest bidder and all funds from such sale shall be deposited with the Commonwealth until the court decides on the charge of breach of the property restrictions set out in this chapter. All funds collected and forfeited tags will be returned to the accused after determination of innocence or forfeited to the Commonwealth after determination of guilt. The objective of this chapter is to ensure the continued sustainable yield of restored striped bass stocks in Virginia and to limit the growth of commercial participants in this fishery. The provisions on aquaculture shall aim to prevent the leakage of farmed hybrid bass into the natural environment and to minimise the impact of farmed fish on the market on the application of other provisions of this Chapter. 7 fish per day – only 2 lake trout. No minimum size. (1) It is unlawful for any person on board a vessel to place, place or fish in the Chesapeake Bay fishing gear capable of catching striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay if the person is in possession of marks of coastal striped bass issued by the Marine Resources Commission or striped bass with coastal zone markings.
1. It is illegal for any person on board a vessel to possess more than one or more than one marked striped bass in the Great Wicomico-Tangier striped bass management area. My opinion . Personally, I would like other states to adopt such regulations in order to protect these fish and all fish. I would bet that over seventy per cent of today`s fishermen have not been there to experience the striped bass moratorium, but they hear about it all the time. As anglers and stewards of our fisheries, we have a responsibility to do better. If you really want to protect the Chesapeake, you might want to regulate boats that make three to four trips a day. Charters should have their own rules, because commercial enterprises, let`s face it, make money from fishing, are not recreational fishing. 4. It is illegal for any person to possess Potomac River Striped Bass Tokens in Virginia Waters, except when Virginia tributaries of the Potomac River land in Virginia and as provided by 4VAC20-252-160C.

For the commercial fishing season, one type of token is distributed to licences for the Chesapeake Bay Area and one type of token to licences for the coastal zone. For the Chesapeake Bay Area, the label can only be used on striped bass with a total length of 18 inches or more.
