OBX Striped Bass Recreational Season 2012.

September 7, 2012 at 7:18 pm Leave a comment

The 2012 Albemarle Sound Managements Area Striped Bass Recreational season has been set for 2012.

The season opens on October 1, 2012 at 12:01AM and will close at 1800 hours on Tuesday, April 30, 2013, unless closed earlier due to another directive from DMF.

This year we will continue to harvest the same number of fish as last year – three (3) fish per day. And the minimum size will stay the same at eighteen inches.

Great news is that we can also fish seven (7) days per week.

This fishery is still recovering so each angler should continue to practice conservation. Only take the fish you plan to use. And return the others back in the water carefully.

I will continue to preach, “only you can make our fishery better, not only for us but for future generations.” We must do our part.

Enjoy this fishery but fish it responsibly.

Until next time, Tightlines
