NJMSP #123 — Live Bait vs. Lures, LiveScope, and NJ Fishery Rules w/ Roger (Cooking & Fishing)

Roger from Cooking & Fishing joins Joe & Chris for a deep dive on open-water smallmouth tactics, when live bait truly shines (and why he sometimes avoids it), and how LiveScope is changing tackle and technique. Then we wade into NJ fishery policy: the proposed 12% striped bass reduction, “no-target” vs “no-harvest,” sea bass debates, bunker pressure, and why better science (and less misinformation) matters.Plus: Multi-Species Mayhem standings & 2026 entry rules, Dec 6 Christmas Party details (Stirling Elks Lodge; raffle supports Heroes on the Water & the NJ Artificial Reef Program), and fall trip shout-outs to Yellow Dog Paddle, Eddie Mackin’s Rippin Lips Fishin Trips, NJFishing.com, and 8 Ball Sportfishing.Questions or raffle donations: [email protected]: Fridays at noon. #SufferForTheFish
