NOAA may open the BI transit zone for striped bass fishing
NOAA is considering opening the Block Island transit zone to striped bass fishing (both recreational and commercial). They are seeking comments on the proposal. You can find the proposal here: https://www.federalregister.gov/docu...d-transit-zone |

If you fish down there then you might notice it’s open for business year round.

I think plenty of people go in there to fish, although I've seen the Coast Guard go in there and shoo them away. |

Lots of people fish there, me included. When I come out of the west gap of the harbor of refuge I'm in the transit zone. But almost no one fishes there all year, i.e. during the winter. And not everyone who fishes there is fishing for striped bass, some of my best sea bass spots are right there in the transit zone. |

this is Lee Zeldins latest attempt to get his Montauk buddies more access to fish between the point and Block. its kinda the wild west out there now, and likely will get worse considering the budgeting for enforcement is less and less every year. the charter guys in MTK truly "straddle the line"- both in the locations they fish (frequently fishing outside the 3 mile line) and the sector they represent ..... where recreational boats really are carrying on a commercial fishing business.
the fish need protection- that area is one of the few left where decent numbers of fish congregate, and they don't need any more pressure than they're already getting.
