A buddy brought to my attention that some divers think it's alright to spearfish for stripers in MA. It isn't! He saw a couple of guys with 3 short stripers that they had speared. They claimed to not know the rules so I thought I would remind the posters here. The stripers need all the help they can get and we don't need to be labeled as law breakers any more than we are now;)

"Striped Bass CANNOT be taken by spearing, netting or snagging"
