Spigola Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Can anyone explain exactly how the new slot regulation will work for stripers. Do you first have to have a 28"+ fish kept before keeping the slot fish or can you just take a slot fish? Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Fishil Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I would think that it wouldn't make a difference which came first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STRIKES Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Correct. Once this bonus program is changed you can take that smaller slot fish first , second or third as long as you have a bonus card /tag etc. in your pocession and filled out.

Fergal Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 On even number days the slot must be taken first as long as it is an odd numbered month. In even numbered months, the slot fish must be taken second on even days, on odd days it must be taken third if caught at night but can be first if taken during the day.

chewy2000913 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ha.. That will have alot of guys scratching their heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergal Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I don't know why it causes confusion. There was a problem years back when the limit was 24-27.9999" (I don't remember the exact regs at the time) but many couldn't get it straight.

RJ Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 We are still operating on last years regulations. the new regs have not beedn approved yet, hence the delay. Could it be that the Feds will do their job and require all states to get in line with a 1 @ 28+" rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allowed conservations equivelancy and NJ took them up on the offer. NJ met the required 25% reduction with the new regulations and at this point it is a done deal. While I think that NJ is beyond stupid with their decision for a 2 fish bag limit, they technically did nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you Charlie, but we can still make the right decision despite what the regs state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeGBreezy Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 There is no way the "new" NJ regs will meet a 25% reduction. It's 2014 vs 2015 status quo in NJ. Nothing changed. Even the guidelines followed everywhere else will only get a 25% reduction maybe. Maybe = 50% chance of success. I'm sort of PO'd about all the jetty covering and notching going on but maybe a few bass will get through because coming inshore at night won't happen. The old silver ling thing.
