Challenging the Wallop Breaux Tax, Pablo on Bait, Bass and Whales at Moriches!

New York Fishing Podcast

Are you ready to question the familiar? Brace yourself as we challenge the notion that additional fishing licenses equate to more funds for the state, right here in New York. We'll pull back the curtain on the truth about the Wallop Breaux tax, daring to ask, is this proposed license just a scheme to fill the state's coffers? Join us as we probe into the real financial impact, the local tackle industry's repercussions, and the potential for these funds to be used for mere enforcement.
Set sail with us to the famous fishing haven, Moriches Bay, where we recount tales of fluking and the majestic sight of whales kissing the shoreline. Dive into the history of striped bass fishing, right from the heart of Mauritius. Witness the evolution of techniques, tackle preferences, and the transformation of the fishery over the years. We'll reveal the enigma of the shrinking striped bass sizes in the bay, set against the contrasting growth of those in the open sea, while questioning the effectiveness of the state's slot limit enforcement strategy.
As we navigate these waters, we pause to honor our dear friend, Gill Hubbs, a warrior who was taken from us prematurely. We remember his infectious spirit and his love for the chase of the big-sized striped bass. Join us as we reminisce about our shared adventures, the thrill of landing a massive albacore in Mauritius, and the secrets of successful fishing strategies. So, buckle up as we share a wealth of fishing wisdom; this is an adventure you don't want to miss!
