    Right NY voted no and never even mentioned the spawning fishing in the Hudson river. blood worms are the preferred bait and ow they can J hooks if they just put a little piece of tubing on their rod tip. It doesn't even have to be in the water. I was trying frantically to get hold of some of the...

    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    All states an the feds have a max size gauge. I can't get those 25-30 pounders anywhere anymore. All of the big (10+) lobsters come from draggers, they're too big to fit in the pots. MA is the big landing port for draggers with a load of lobsters.

    Is Peconic Bay a White shark Nursery ?

    Sand tiger and browns are "inshore" sharks typically found closer to land than the pelagic species. As was said, White sharks have been known to drop their pups offshore of LI, but pretty far offshore, not in Peconic bay. I ve caught several mako and white sharks pups when I was doing a lot of...

As you know the NEFMC is dominated by commercial fishing interests and I hope that you all would like to see a recreational fisherman appointed to the council. You can write...

    That was the intent. C&R is responsible for more striped bass mortality than any other fishery, including commercial fishing.

    The ASMFC is trying to reduce the mortality of released fish, which is about 50% of the total mortality on striped bass, so any reduction in mortality won't affect the size and bag limits for fish you can keep.

    Not sure what you mean George, the ASMFC is trying to reduce release mortality, which constitutes about 70% of the total mortality on striped bass. If you're going to kill the fish it really doesn't matter what kind of hook you use. But most of the mortality in the past is from released fish, so...
