One Spring the GF and I were perch fishing with minnows on Fair Haven Bay. We were doing pretty well on the perch. I caught a couple smallish pike and a bass in a row. She put her pole down and made me move the boat. I think if you were casting big spoons or something like that a CO would have a good argument for writing a ticket but we were legitimately perch fishing.
A few bushel of apples under a pine tree, could be pineapples.
I'm going out on a limb here and figuring the DEC decided that even if the gobies eat the eggs that it won't damage the bass eco structure.
