Last time I crossed the Tappan Zee was in 1973.....How many of you Westchester Rugrats were alive then  ??

I’m the closest to that number of this band of hooligans...but even I were not yet a twinkle in my Pop’s eye during that year.

Depends what you call good. I can get the boat from point a to point b and back to the dock no problem.

Finding the fish on the other hand is a whole different story.

We use to troll for them in the Kingston area. We just used the fish finder to locate the depth they were at, and used downriggers with big Rapalas. Clown color outfished everything day in day out, but blue or black and silver also produced reliably. This didn't produce the huge ones, but caught lots in the 15-20 pound range. 

We had days where we couldn't bum a bite, and days where we would boat 20 or more. Stripers are a hard fighting fish that is for sure.

heck yeah!!!! you guys had a good night i see. although i thought it was illegal to take them out of the water

In a perfect scenario or boatside unhooking without taking out of the water would have been preferred. But up against those rocks in the pitch black would have been impossible. Chris got the hook out quick while I snapped a pic and off it went back into the water.

 

Here are the five things, according to the DEC, that anglers should be aware of if they have incidental contact with a sturgeon:

1. Avoid bringing the fish into the boat or onto shore if possible.

2. Use pliers or a fishing tool to remove any hook.

3. Always support the fish horizontally. Do not hold a sturgeon in a vertical position by their head, gills, or tail.

4. Never touch their eyes or gill plates.

5. Minimize the time they spend out of the water and return the sturgeon to the water immediately once freed from your fishing gear.

6. Milk it of all it eggs and serve over sturgeon sashimi washed down with a Ruby Red.

I kid!!! No sturgeon were harmed in the making of this joke. All the first 5 rules were followed
