Not only can't you fish for them in the EEZ, but you can't even possess them (having caught them elsewhere) with a few exceptions around Montauk/BI/PJ. |
Best regards,

My assumption is that you can catch them and release them. We fished for years on Rose and Crown doing exactly that, and often saw charter boats doing the same......at least when we were near them.

You are not suppose to target them in the EEZ. Though, if you're not keeping them there really is little anyone can do, as you just have to say you're trying to catch bluefish and these darn bass keep getting in the way.

What do you think the Coasties would say if you were dropping eels on mono leaders overboard, and landed 20 bass in a row, and you tried to tell them that you were "targeting bluefish"? 
They ain't stupid, ya know. |

I don't know that I'd want to bet my boat on that |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Your assumption is wrong. Just ask all the guys that got tickets down at the sub buoy off Block the last two years. And that included plenty of charter boats. |

They are definitely needed, but always seem to show up as soon as the bite gets good. Nothing more painful than being over the school with fish splashing on the surface and everyone catching fish but you. |
