Here is the agenda for next Thursday's ASMFC striped bass management meeting. Note that they will be discussing an item tabled the last meeting:

I wouldnt be surprised if MD gets some relief with removal of the Chesapeake bay from Addendum IV. I think this would allow us to get an 18" across the board again. (hopefully if this is the case we can keep the season until Dec 20th though - I personally would rather keep the 20" min and extend the season but if MD pulls this off, it will be because they said the 20" min caused economic hardship on the charter and commercial fishing industry. )
