Those changes in regulations would majorily suck!!! Last year the places I usually fish from produced pretty good numbers, but not many quality fish. Each trip I'd catch approximately 30 to 50 fish. Granted, the majority of the fish were around 13" and was only averaging one keeper out of 15 fish. Of course these were spots fished from shore. The boat trips I made did produce some real nice sized tog and a couple limits. I figured they were making a comeback. Guess I was wrong.
Quick question, Gama, have you ever tried shedder oil on your baits? An old sharpie mentioned it to me last year and I thought it just might work. It works wonder when fishing plastic for weakies, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for my fav fish.
I also heard that a chum pot helps too when the bite is slow. More stuff to experiment with this year along with my new Loomis...heehee.


Remember, ya gotta hook 'em to cook 'em.

You got it...Jersey born and raised. I am planning on doing a couple trips out in LI and maybe a lil further out to hunt down some monster slob white-chins.
A few trips I did real well with fish all from 4 to 8 lbs. I just gotta learn to stay away from those real big silver eels...

Gama,
Haven't used them myself but have heard of numerous reports on how well they work. Going to get some myself and try em. I know there are special rakes for them but one old sharpie told me just to use half of a killie trap to dig into the sand with and I should get a few each time. I'll update as soon as I try em.
