I. Striped bass slot limits:
This item was referred to WRC as a result of the Commission granting Petition 2020-005, regarding striped bass slot limits. The Department has completed its analysis of the petition’s request and will make a recommendation to WRC (see exhibits A1 through A3). WRC is seeking public input on the recommendation and striped bass slot limits in general. In turn, WRC may make a recommendation to the Commission.
II. Other recommended changes:
This is an initial opportunity for interested parties to make suggestions to the Department and WRC regarding potential regulation changes for inland sport fishing. The Department will make its initial recommendations to WRC (Exhibit A4). The second opportunity to discuss ideas with WRC will be its January 2025 meeting, when WRC is expected to make recommendations to the Commission.
