Looks like no changes, status quo, for Striped Bass Regs for 2026 up and down the Atlantic Coast. Not sure what NYDEC is going to want to do if their YOY survey tanks again this year, but without the ASMFC breathing down DEC's neck...no changes for the Hudson either.

Recieved this email just this morning looks like we’re gonna be tagged to reduce our take by 12% - how we are going to get there is unknown as of yet – a Public Hearing with DEC at New Paltz is tentatively scheduled for September 22 – I will confirm as soon as it’s fixed – it’s really important that we get as many people to this meeting as possible.
While we get a partial exemption, being recognized as a unique fishery, the estuarian portion of the Hudson (above GWB) will have to sync with some components of new regulations for NYS saltwater – this could be really unfair – that is why we need to be there – some of the things being talked about
1) Seasonal closures – minimum two weeks – if we have to take 2 weeks out of our 6 week season – it’s gonna SUCK!
2)No targeting – i.e. no trips focusing specifically on stripers – looks like we’re gonna be doing a lot of fishing for channel cats
We are going to have to give up something, so put you thinking caps on and be open to suggestions
We of course will be attending the meeting so if you are unable to go shoot me a message with your thoughts and opinions and we'll make sure your voice is heard)

Sitting here counting down the hours and minutes to the new year...
So before Mike and I take out the old, and bring in the new, we'd like to take the time to thank each and every one of our Monster Hunters crew of 2024 for a helluva Striper Season! Mike and I are so fortunate to have met such outstanding individuals... all the stories, all the laughter, the joy of the catch, but especially sharing in our passion for fishing. All of you made every minute of those 14 hour long days, and sometimes in not so favorable weather soooo worth it)
So, Cheers! Not just to the New Year ahead, but to the one that came before it ღ
Very much looking forward to fishing with some of you again, and of course, meeting new folks and making so much more memories…
One fish at a time)
Wishing all of you a New Year of Peace, Love, and Happiness!
Tight Lines and Fish On for 2025
