I wasn't sure about stripers inside the bay. I thought it was only out in the ocean. My friend thinks you can't even launch from in the bay and return with a fish. Do you have know anything about that? Thanks jim
That's an interesting question. I would make contact with DEP before I made that trip.

My understanding is that it’s unlawful to target stripers in the bays or rivers until March. Also out past the 3 mile line in the ocean. If you’re fishing in the bay or rivers with small hooks and blood worms or grass shrimp as you would for white perch and you catch a striper you can release it and your ok.Since you pretty much have to launch and return in the bay you can return with stripers. Worth mentioning, non offset circle hooks are now required when fishing bait for striped bass.

No closed season the ocean within the 3 mile line. Is what I meant to say.

Ocean only for Stripers, not bay or river. Don't know about boating, I'm a beach/rocks guy.
