New Striper hook rules in Maine
Hi all,It will be illegal in Maine to use treble hooks when using live or dead bait when striper fishing in Maine.
It will be mandatory in Maine when fishing for Stripers that you use circle hooks when using live or dead bait.However this will not go into affect till Jan 1-2013 due to the fact that tackle shops have already invested in and inventory of J -hooks.
It will be prohibited to use more than 2 sets of treble hooks-barbless or barbed-on an artificial lure when fishing for stripers.
Maine is again taking the lead for less destructive measure for fishing for striped bass to help reduce the number needless dead released fish. Ron
