The Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass Fishery was conducted during several periods in different locations from September 1990 through February 1991. Systems were put in place to allocate the catch among different user groups, to monitor the catch, and to enforce fishery regulations. The large turnout of fishermen necessitated an early closure of some of the individual state fisheries. However, the monitoring and regulatory system in place worked successfully and kept the catch within target levels designed to allow the striped bass population to continue growing.
