Great to know, thanks! I was just thinking about breaking out the tackle on Friday. Doesn't look like any of the new regs change anything for me.

Yeah doesn't change much for me. Rarely get out in May due to turkey season and also rarely keep the fish I catch anyways.

That said, I need to bust out the fishing gear. Haven't been up to cannonsville since Thanksgiving. Hopefully it's clear of ice as I'll most likely go next weekend if the weather is nice

I love fishing but I gave it up because of Cuomo the shitbag and his safe act. Im going to try some walleye fishing this year in the river.I never realized they could be caught off shore , I thought they were deep water mainly lake fish. So I never tried, Mostly caught Northern pike .

But now I see they can be taken with jigs , so Im gonna try it.

Why did the safe act keep you from fishing?

I never caught one. I never used jigs, but now I see from Youtube that they can be taken from the right spots . Caught just about everything else except a musky, Close though, I had them follow my spoon with their nose about an inch away But no cigar.
