New State Regulations Limit Sea Bass Fishing!

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Black Sea Bass, which can be found in and around Long Island’s waters from May through September, have had NY State impose new fishing regulations.  As proposed, the recreational fishing season will be reduced from 12 months to 2 months, June and September.  These rules have come on the heels of new  NY State license fees for salt water fishing and increased limits on fluke, causing angst among both recreational anglers and charter boat captains.  Is it fair?  Is it necessary to sustain a viable balance in our coastal waters?  What do you think?
