Can’t wait…….tight lines 🎣

[@NickOnTheWater]

It's about to pop-off!

[@ChristopherSmith-m9p]

I believe a lot of these fish are now entering from offshore of New Jersey, those first satellite tags put in bass proves that by that summer that those fish were off of the Massachusetts Coast on the continental shelf

[@huntfishhudsonvalley]

ThANKS FOR the report ... I am a HRFA member and fish in the Newburgh area and want to point out I believe the regulation change mentioned north of the GW did not sound correct ... this is what Jessica Best from the DEC sent that I received March 27th: "in the Hudson River north of the GW bridge, NY proposed changing the keeper slot from 18-28” to 23-28”. This was approved by the ASMFC striped bass board on March 26th. DEC will now move forward with emergency regulations to get the new rules in place by May 1st, as required by ASMFC."

[@torystackle301]

They're here in upstate NY big girls and schoolies. bloodworms, herring, and lures all working. The slot size has been changed again also.

[@iguy6571]

I currently live near Poughkeepsie, the striper bite is dead right now. Probably haven't reached us yet

[@edfevans]

Was catching striper and herring since Thursday all the way up in Kingston 😂😂😂

[@iguy6571]

@@edfevans oh? care to share any tips?

[@auggyboy284]

The reason the Chesapeake is declining is due to the amount of Menhaden being removed by commercial boats.

[@VictorF0326]

Why are they taking so much bunker?

[@LordCowbxyRDR]

@@VictorF0326 omega trawlers, bunker gets bought by omega or turned into fertilizer, dog food, make up. I watch the fuckers do it all fall right on the Maryland line but on the Virginia side... it sucks

[@auggyboy284]

@@VictorF0326 My state of Virginia will not ban commercial netting in the bay. They also refuse to monitor any bycatch that these commercial nets release. Basically, it’s big business

[@Bigtimepicks]

We rippin lips as far as Troy don’t sleep boys get out there

[@juans3728]

If you don't mind my asking i know Barometric Pressure will affect the fish bite in freshwater is it the same for saltwater?

[@gabrielM1111]

I heard no or to lesser degree.

[@Hunterbidenscrackrock]

Shit is dead in nyc right now

[@NessieTheCatt]

Got one in Connecticut this morning, just one though

[@snakeeyes9246]

​@@NessieTheCattthis is usually the time that I start looking for smaller schoolies. Can't go today because it's way too windy. Maybe next week near the Connecticut River mouth.

[@NessieTheCatt]

@snakeeyes9246 yea I would have stayed but wind started picking up. They are out there already. And that's exactly what it was. Just a small guy but it's a good sign. Will be out there next weekend. Maybe I'll see you out there
