On this episode of the NJ Multi Species Podcast, Jim Hutchinson Jr., New Jersey’s head editor for The Fisherman Magazine, joins us to discuss the current state of striped bass, blackfish, and sea bass. We break down regulations, overfishing, and the impact of technology like spot lock, high-torque reels, and modern electronics.
We also debate the idea of a NJ saltwater fishing license, whether blackfish are in decline due to overharvesting, and why sea bass numbers are exploding to historic highs.
