TBOT Northeast

Looking for an idea how many folks will be with us Friday night. I know Cincinnati is coming solo and I have 2. How about Outtahere and Fischer 53?

We should be up Friday around 1 PM with 3 people. This is going to be fun. I will be taken lots of pics to put on this site.

Is MVBluefish coming???

[Fishahn]

cincinnati,
yes this is the correct marine forecast, I've been watching it also, however it changes every day, I think they are only accurate within a couple hours.....

anyway it looks good as of now weather wise!

I was wondering about MVBluefish too, hopefully he'll hookup with us for a bit.

oh yes, we are primarily in Vineyard Sound, unless some want to get adventurous, could head into Buzzards Bay or even Nantucket Sound.

I will be solo after all. My wife had something come up. Plan to be there around 1:00.

Have fun this weekend guys! And be sure to give us a report and post some pictures. I hope some of you will try to come down for the Mackfest too! We'd love to see some NE guys there.

Blessings,
Randy

So here is the scoop on the striper regs in MA... They have to be 28 inches and you cannot take more than two and...

4) Bass must be kept whole, with head, tail and body intact - no mutilation permitted (other than evisceration). The discard of dead, legal size striped bass is prohibited. To prohibit the practice of high-grading, recreational fishermen may not retain legal-sized striped bass and release said fish in favor of another larger legal-sized striped bass captured subsequently. It shall be unlawful to keep striped bass alive in the water by attaching a line or chain to the fish or placing the fish in a live well or holding car. Striped bass are measured from the tip of the snout or jaw (mouth closed) to the farthest extremity of the tail.

I was surprised that it is unlawful to keep them alive in your bait tank. Guess that keeps people from releasing keepers for bigger keepers later in the day.
