Thumbs up striper problems

The stripers have a big problem it's called the dam and cold cold water.The stripers wont be able to spawn because of the cold water coming down from the dam.So when you guy go out and you catch that big fat female have a heart let her go so she can spawn out.Look at it this way when she spawns out those fish will become your kids big fish years to come.So keep the males let the big fat females go ,good luck and god bless............woody

This is a good concept but it is hard to tell a male from a female. A male fish full of menhaden will look like a roe laden female. It has been discussed here to throw over 40" fish back but do as you like.........Gary

Someone verify this just to be sure, but a female has two vents on the underneath, whereas the male only has one. I agree with throwing back egg-laden pre-spawn but post-opening day females. The meat isn't worth depleting the resource IMHO. Live line, jig, or troll up some may schoolies for meat instead. Not a sermon, just a thought.

Default Sex of a Striper

You can't tell by their appearence except that the females are the bigger of the two. They have to be dissected for you to find out.

I posted this on the other board.

The Trophy Catch and Release Citation is much nicer than the regular one.

See CarterCrew's post from last year:

Nice...I gotta get one.

If you are not sure place your face over the hole or holes and gently squeeze then you will know.
