I couldn't find exact dates to when gill netting is allowed for striped bass in VA but found this:
In the Chesapeake area, the open commercial season shall be from January 16 through December 31, inclusive. The minimum size limit shall be 18 inches total length during the periods of January 16 through December 31. The maximum size limit shall be 28 inches from March 26 through June 15.
