Well since you put it that way you keep your boat. Get a written explanation of the law from an EPO. Is it really worth it to not find out for certai. What the letter of the law is

Read the law quoted above. If you are bluefishing, why don't you have a wire leader? Tell it to the judge.

Zac's is right, you are not allowed to target, catch or retain Striped Bass in the EEZ, most of those fish are breeder fish and that is why they are trying to protect them.

EEZ closed to all striped bass possession or fishing. Atlantic Striped Bass may not be fished for, harvested, retained, or possessed in or from the EEZ.


If that's how its written so be it.. Those are the details I have been looking for Thx . and I wish an EPO had this answer when asked I would have not been in the conservation if he had
