You seem to have an issue with other people using our ocean and other waters. “. 10 surfers were in my spot”.” An intruder in “my spot” caught a fish etc. ect. Did you ever see yourself as the intruder? I’m sure I’ve fished some of “your spots” before, if I was there first, like the surfers, who’s the intruder?

Millions of stripers have been stocked in the Hudson River over the years. I believe the power companies were/ are required to stock them to compensate for the ones that get sucked up in their water intakes. In the 1990s there were tons stocked to help with the recovery. Once the spawning of wild fish recovered I believe they curtailed stocking because a lot of the hatchery fish were from the Carolina’s non migratory stock and they wanted to keep the genetics of the Hudson stock pure. So yes it’s been done.

Went fishing at strawbridge lake New Jersey moorestown New Jersey caught a crappy on steroids I think it's pregnant and two small Bass and I'm getting sick of shore fishing because every time I go to set the hook on a decent fish my line breaks or some type of malfunction happens because of the weeds putting nicks in my line when I walk up to the bank of the lake and I'm getting tired of it I probably lose four or five fish a day every time I go out due to malfunctioning gear because of all the crap that I have to walk through that's why I want to kayak but wasn't a bad day but by the time I started catching fish it was too dark so yeah that's how that went

+1 on the rock bass. Never heard of weeds nicking line like that. Make sure you’re using fresh mono. Kind of perishable. 2 years tops even if it’s still in the package. Less if you leave it in your vehicle like I do. Can’t be caught without a rod and tackle this time of year!!

Next time use your fingertips right behind the gills and you won’t have to squeeze the crap out of them.

Was lucky enough to have 2 really good days in November with these fish. Just goes to show that not all the fish are in the bait at any given moment. Had many fish after the blitzing fish moved on. Awesome footage.

I’m going with same fish. Look at the tail. Looks split, like a injury. Looks the same to me.

This wasn't normal fishing, unless you consider a spear gun to be fishing tackle. Ignoring the buddy system, I went diving alone to do some spear fishing. When I was ready to go back in, I surfaced - and the fog had rolled in. I couldn't tell which way the shore was, it was like trying to look through a bottle of milk! Finally, I pulled down my wetsuit hood to uncover my ears, and swam towards the sound of waves on the rocks. It all ended well but until I thought of listening for the surf, I was concerned that I'd really gotten myself into a situation!
Now I'm too old for that kind of diving. If I dive any more it'll be in warm, clear water from a dive charter boat. I can't believe that I used to carry 80 pounds of gear a quarter of a mile, then try to fight my way into a wetsuit while I was all sweaty, and then fight my way out through the surf. That's for the guys who are still young and dumb and full of .....chum. And yeah, I've gotten seasick while I was diving. Not a good time or place to have to barf!

had a similar experience. Used to rent a house right on the beach a week each early fall. Well, the wife fall asleep around 9 pm or so it was time to do a little night fishing. Waded out pretty far on a sand bar, ocean was flat as a lake. Incoming tide. Well the fog rolled in and lost my bearings. Any direction I waded it got deeper. Oh s***. What now. Tide coming in. Well finally I heard a boat go by and the wake coming in told me which way to go. Waded through the trough and what a sight that dry sand was. Best beers I ever tasted back at the house!!

+1 on burying in sand. Just make sure you mark the spot. I will walk off so may steps from a landmark in the dunes. Easy to lose m if you travel any distance. Pick them up on your way in.

I used to use la crosse boots for years. I bit the bullet and bought a pair of gumleaf rubber knee high boots what a world of difference. Nicer fit and heavy duty. I think they were mostly made for the horse/ farm market but I just looked and there marketing includes hunting/fishing. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pair if they ever wear out.

I use korkers wading boots with the hex cleats. What a difference even from felts. Helps when climbing down a slippery bank to get to the water too. Never felt so sure footed in the water. Still, high flows will move your feet, then it’s time to reconsider until your really comfortable in moving water. If you get in trouble, like others have said, point your feet upstream and slowly make your way to the bank one foot at a time.
