Weather
Good afternoon, After an abysmal weather period the past 15 days, I am seeing a full scale pattern change starting this weekend and lasting through all of next week. Highs in the 80s and even 90+ could occur. Hopefully the models keep this because we need warm weather to get things going.- ag3

Bend Over and don't expect any KY. First ASFMC Bass Reduction Proposal calls for a 35" minimum size to reduce recreational retention by target of 17%
Sounds like a slot to 40” is coming.- ag3

Doesn’t that keep every Montauk boat out of Block since they won’t be able to transport them through federal waters?- ag3

So a slot of 28”-40”? And Circle hooks for all bait fishing? And I guess a shorter season?- ag3

2019 Western Sound Spring Bass run...
These #s are good for the way fishing is now but no offense, there were trips in 2008, 2009 and 2010 where we did 30+ keeper bass on 1 chunking trip fishing structure. The same structures that had the #s I'm listing are now de-void of life. Almost completely. Some days they yield great trips...- ag3

2019 Western Sound Spring Bass run...
2002-2010, a great trip in the sound was on 1 tide, 30+ keeper bass on the right structure. A bad trip in those years was 10 keeper bass in 1 trip. Even last year, on the right structure we had 20+ fish trips in 1 tide but they were very limited instead of widespread amount of trips. Most trips...- ag3

Treble hooks for bait fishing should also become illegal. These definitely increase mortality on released fish.- ag3

AFSMC Striper Meeting
A slot would definitely reduce catch. Think about this. During July and August in Montauk and Block, countless 40”+ bass are caught and harvested. On some days, you can’t catch a fish under 36”. And some days you can’t catch a fish under 40”. A slot of 28”-34” would reduce harvested fish big...- ag3

I’m hearing they are considering a daily limit for charter and party boats. Not a trip limit. And also a possible closure in August and September, which is pretty much the Montauk and Block big fish season.- ag3

Looking good going forward. Especially after Apr. 6th. Certainly not last years brutal April which featured record breaking snow fall and cold. Get the boats and fishing gear ready.- ag3
