Saw 6 dead ones floating down past us! I'm not a fan of the new slot.
I can see a point to it I guess but I think it needs to go 18 to 32. Circle hook helps but its not mandated.
We had circles on and still had two gut hooked fish had to cut the line and send them back >:(.
I normally keep my one in the 30-34 range 40+ fish don't taste nearly as good as a 30!


I hate everything about the new regs.   Competely agree here.

Can anyone give me any pointers on fishing with chunk bait? I just keep catching catfish. Don't get me wrong, catfish are fun and all but........

We almost never use chunk for that very reason.   We usually use just live herring.

I have tried it several times normally when bait is coming hard and have never caught a striper on it.
I think allot of the success you hear on chunk may be early on before the bait is in and the scout fish are showing up. I have often thought about suspending it on a balloon to keep it away from the eels and catfish.

That has been my experience too. I think it comes with the territory.

Got on the river the other day.  Boated a few stripers on live and chunk. This one put up a long fight.
