All up and down the east coast the government has taken the Big Bass away from us, all Big Bass this year are catch and release, you are only allowed to keep one small fish per man under 31 inches which is about 10 pounds.
New for 2022/23 Fall Blackfish still 5 fish per man but the largest fish per man can only be 21 inches. The remaining 4 fish have to be under 21 inches. So the days of meat fishing is drawing to a close.
Now if you can handle this new change
LET'S GO FISHIN.
