Stripers-Are you in or out?

[Fisherman120]

I'll be fishing for em, but charters for me will need a 2nd species to go for if fishing is too good that day.

[NoLimit]

Never killed a second fish but they should have done the slot

[UglyStick]

Agree a slot fish for the 2nd would have been a better option but being 98% a freshwater guy who is all c&r in that venue, the limit change won't affect the number of charters my boys and I do.

fishing alone is peace and serenity , fishing with buddys are laughs and good times, if ya catch its a bonus , if you dont oh well you have some stories to tell ! all in all fishing is just a way to let go of all the bs in your lives ....common spring !! i got about 5 months of tention to release !

[bassnblues]

The bag limit would not stop me but a poor fishery certainly would.

[slammer]

It wont have any effect on the amount of trips I go on. I only keep one for the table once in a while.I hope we have a good run this year.C'mon spring

[backbay]

ill probably be fishin for stripers more this year than i have in the past few years simply because i have a boat thats a little more capable of getting after them in the early spring when the weathers a bit iffier, i also kinda honed in on some new spots to try for them early last year that i want to try,

Ive eaten the big stripers before and they just dont taste good, im fine keepin one at 28", if i want to fill my freezer ill do it with white perch, fluke, tog, blowfish, kingfish, etc. all of which taste better in my opinion.

[bunker dunker]

I love fishing plain and simple and limits and sizes would not make me fish any less.my only concerns are that the states to our north and to our south and of coarse the commercial fishing.i would rather keep 2 a day then see them dead floating on the surface killed in a net.

Nope. Out of all the bass we put on deck last season the crew kept exactly one. A 31" bleeder that wouldn't have made it.

Curious to see what PB capt's think of the new reg? If everyone in this thread says it wont affect their fishing habits, I'm guessing customers are still showing up to fish.

If you are all just into just the fishing aspect, why do you all complain when you catch bluefish? They fight harder than stripers. Keep talking like this and you will get what you wish for C & R.(soon as the govt. can charge you for it).
