10.15.22 Why we have regs....



      Regulations, no matter what we think of them, are put inot place to protect striped bass. The snag and drop along with the 28-38" one fish rules have been changed to reduce mortality and protect the larger breeding females. It seems that anglers have forgot that when the first big push of big fish happened along the Jersey Shore starting last week. 

     The above post was put up on Betty and Nicks Facebook page. Sad, but true. We need to do better. Below is a great example of how to use live bunker for bait when fishing the pods from a boat. Not sure how successful that would be standing up on the beach when the fish are 100+ feet out. Imagine how fly rodders feel. Just becasue they are there doesn't mean you have to catch them.
