Elsewhere in the email, OTW mentions pre-spawn fish and post-spawn fish. How is one to know? In a past season, I have caught a fish in late July or August that was still full of eggs, ie pre-spawn.

Ho would it facilitate poaching?
Any striper you catch this time of year in the ocean is post spawn. They don't all spawn every year so there are a percentage of fish out there in the May to Dec timeframe that are still carrying eggs. Often the eggs will be reabsorbed into the body.
