Sick of seeing occurrences like this or this? NC House Bill 353 to the rescue. This legislation, currently making its way through the North Carolina House of Representatives, would limit the method of catch to only hook-and-line only for Striped Bass, Spotted Trout and Red Drum. It also allows for financial reimbursement for commercial fishermen to help with expenses related to retrofitting their vessels and to cover loss of income related to the cessation of catching these species.
