Circle Hooks for Striped Bass - On The Water

Attention striper fishermen: Effective January 1, 2021, non-offset (inline) circle hooks must be used when fishing for striped bass with natural baits like clams, squid, mackerel, menhaden, seaworms, and eels. Using inline circle hooks significantly increases survival of released striped bass by reducing occurrences of gut hooking.
