If you're fishing for striped bass with bait, you must use a circle hook.
This obviously raises some questions, such as what about a tube & worm? And, can you fish an eel on a jig head? What if you're not specifically targeting bass?
Enforcement will certainly be a challenge.
Expect the first year to be an instructional year, before enforcing.
More to come on this. This reg will be so that CT is in line with regs in other states under the ASMFC.
