Re: Striped bass busts gone wild !!

Aren't you in charge of your boat and paying attention to how far off shore you are for that exact reason?

And then you retain the bass you see come over the rail 3.1 miles out?

You stop and have good fishing for an hour and it drops dead. You make a move furter North and 2.8 miles off the beach. You look out East a half mile furter out and Gannets are diving and there is white water everywhere! The forty customers see it to and start screaming"Let's go into the birds Captain! You say by law that you can't because you have retained Stripers already. But there blues not bass? Does not matter YOU CAN'T GO THERE!!!

NO! If you have a bass on board you do not go over the three mile line.

Like the sea bass season. Fed rules are different.

Running the boat you should know that before you stepped on the boat at the dock. So what's unfair about the rules? You knew that before you had breakfast the day before. :)
