    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'Electric Outboard Motors for Saltwater Fishing'

    Yes, but certainly not in either one of our future, we'll be long gone to the Great Rip In The Sky before it's even close to "reality". It's all about the same issues keeping EVs from being the dominant form of transportation: Battery capacity and weight: We'll probably need an alternate...

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'Electric Outboard Motors for Saltwater Fishing'

    If you hate electric cars, you'll just loathe electric marine propulsion!! They're trying to convince lobstermen here that they need to switch, talk about something going over like a loud, wet fart in church!! Boasting about unrealistic "performance" characteristics like they were appropriate...

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'Conservation Equivalency is a Scam on Anglers'

    And the states that foist the most inane CE proposals, are the very same that consistently vote oppose most conservation-minded actions presented by regulatory bodies, the Evil Triumvirate of Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey!!

    Review by 'Roccus7' in article 'The Striped Bass YOY Index: From Crystal Ball to Statistical Failure'

    I already wrote a partial review, never should have been published. The "important graphs" have absolutely no correlation to the points that HAL says they make. A new low in AI-generated material. The YOY studies from the Chesapeake only tell the managers how many fish spawned and made it...

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'The Striped Bass YOY Index: From Crystal Ball to Statistical Failure'

    George: Before I go on, this was AI generated correct? Now the warning, never send a scientist a statistical study without expecting some detailed feedback, especially one that finds AI abhorrent. What was your purpose for this "Dep Dive"? Besides the cheesy, unrelated photo like the one...

    How about correcting the picture of the European Sea Bass with an actual striped bass??

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'Over 800 Striped Bass Fishing Violations'

    True enough, I remind myself of that every time I start thinking about getting my CG and Maine Guide licenses.

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'Over 800 Striped Bass Fishing Violations'

    Somehow George, I don't think we're talking about potential Saints here so no need for a Devil's Advocate. As part of this process a person called a “devil’s advocate” raises questions and objections to the candidate’s sainthood to make sure all aspects of the person's life is examined. A...

    Striped Bass

    Am I Fishing for Stripers or Largemouth Bass? NY Angler regulars know me and my “eccentricities”, but for those of you unfamiliar with me, my NYA handle is Roccus7 and I live and fish along Maine’s magnificent Midcoast. I cut my teeth on striper fishing on LI’s North Shore from Stony Brook to...

    Humans have to be cognizant that when you enter an ecosystem if you're NOT the apex predator, your new title is LUNCH!! Therefore you need to take precautions and lower the odds that you'll be the next course...

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'This Logbook Will Simply Amaze you'

    I know the youngsters that grew up in the pre-depth finder, Loran and GPS days wouldn't understand this, but I still have that pre-technology discipline to immediately take ranges when you happen upon a new inshore spot. After I get my ranges down, I then hit the MARK button on the GPS. Of...

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'Record Catch and Release Striped Bass - Does it really count?'

    Agree on catch release salt water tourneys, which is a great idea if you must have a tournament. As you can tell, I've never been a fan of tournaments. I'm just not a fan of fishing being a media event; nothing runs the solitude and tranquility of fishing like an army of weekend warriors...

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article 'Record Catch and Release Striped Bass - Does it really count?'

    First George, I had to correct your typo, pardon my editing... Second, no matter what criteria are used, if there's money involved, there will be cheating, doesn't matter if it's a fishing or a bocce tournament. Before tackle manufacturers offered large cash rewards for IGFA record fish, there...

    If they’re not written up now, there’s nothing to submit; they have to be submitted by Saturday. Any solid leads on EXACT proposals state by state?

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article '90-inch Giant caught this morning'

    Great catch for sure, but all the "good stuff" is probably on the way to Japan right now. Hopefully he scooped out some meat from the head before that got tossed into the drink...

    Comment by 'Roccus7' in article '90-inch Giant caught this morning'

    480 Gross? I doubt it, more like 480 dressed. Since BFT's > 73" are commercial fish for sale he got that one in under the wire. Another closure in effect tonight at 11:30 PM through November. Hope he does better than the $2-4 per lb "high end" price this season...
