I'm sure it's OK, Leighton. Roger knows you meant well when you invited him to come up
After all, it's called "fishing", not "catching" for a reason, right? Oh, I see that you even violated that trust, too, by allowing him to catch some. I now see why you would feel so badly.
Perhaps things will be better tomorrow.
You guys are killin' me! I know you will comtine to have a great time. These are memories to be cherished for the rest of your lives. Good on you two! (Three, 'cause I expect Mrs. Honda is right there with you! )

What are the size limits on stripers up y'all way sir?
Hi Shreck. Rec limit is 2 fish @ >28".
Commercial gets cranking in a couple weeks, and we can take 30 fish per day >34" T, W, TH, Sat. 5 fish on Sunday. Rod and reel only.
Cheers.
Here it's the same offshore but inshore it's 18" and no keepers on the Cape Fear River. Some river systems have slot limits as well. Just to keep it confusing.
A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

I learned the other day from Bucktales that in CT they have at least one limit measured not in whole number, but in a *fraction* (1/2"). Lame.
You all have an offshore fishery for bass? Sheeit. We have the EEZ in place; 3 miles offshore and they're off-limits. Illegal to use gear deemed to be designed to fish for bass (?), no bass in possession and illegal to enter --even to travel-- from a legal <3 mile spot with fish in the box across to another legal <3 mile spot. You get stopped running across, you're going to take a skewering...

I think the three mile limit is he same here for striped bass, I do know it is for red drum. Reds are slotted 18"/27" IIRC.

Thats some fun fishing. I do miss fishing stripers on those warm summer nights. Using live eels or surface poppers brought a bunch to hand, and it was a lot of fun doing it.
The WIKI looks like it goes from the "base line" (mean low water) to 200 nmi offshore. 200 nmi is a long ways. Must not be reading it right.
I dunno about the freshwater striper. Ate one or two long ago. Perch and walleye and misc. trout are top of the heap for me.
Anyway, good luck fishing and I hope you finally catch something BIG. We need a good adventure story here to cut through the slime of all the political posts.

Well, 'big' is a pretty subjective term. I was hoping to get STX after one of these, but doesn't look good for this week.
My dear friend from ID (native Bostonian who escaped west in his late 20s) saw the same movie. Twice he flew in to chase giants, and twice we were foiled by heavy seas. I can only try my best to suggest a good time to get here, but as most folks don't have the freedom or luxury to be able to wait for a phone call telling of a monster tuna bite under way right NOW, and be able to drop everything to grab a jet, well, you take your chances with dates set in stone months in advance. But persistence will about always pay handsome dividends. The third time in, we clobbered market fish.
Skipper calling the shots is Nat of First Light Anglers. The consummate crazed, dedicated, professional tuna slayer. For me, this is high adventure caliber. Oh BTW, is this one big enough, B?

Lame.
