    My NJ sources say that NJ will comply effective 7/1. Some points to consider, raised by my same NJ source: .......

    NYSDEC website survey for Recreational Black Sea Bass Regulations

    Great post PaulE & welcome to this friendly, helpful community. I fish NJ and do not agree that "Most of NJ does not catch BSB the way they used to, so they get better regs". BSB are now more prolific in NJ than ever b4. This war between neighboring fishing states is wrong; as wrong as the...

    Lep Stick II ?

    This honor can only be bestowed by Pete but I feel the new Jigging World Onyx is worthy. With first hand knowledge of 20+ years using the Lep Stick (Bass Pro Musky XH) I look forward to Pete's input. The Onyx comes in spinning (up to 9') and casting (7' or 7'6") models. Lep Stick OG...

    Billions of Bunker, Stripers not so much

    The title of this post was true last week, this week it's the opposite. Bunker schools were deep this week, couldnt see 'em on surface, had to find 'em on the scope. But once u found 'em, Stripers were on every pod. Several overs released and the keepers were all 37-38". Hope they stick...
