As promised a, here is an overview of the 2020 striped bass regulations for the Gulf of St. Lawrence including the Northumberland Strait. Striped Bass Recreational Fishery in the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2020 Moncton, New Brunswick June 1, 2020 - Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) today approved the management measures for striped bass recreational fishing in the waters adjacent to the Maritime Provinces in the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence for 2020. Daily bag and to...tal possession limit Anglers can retain a maximum of three (3) striped bass per day during the fishing season, and cannot have in their possession more than three (3) striped bass at any given time from April 25th to October 31st. Legal sizes for retention The size window for the retained striped bass is a minimum length of 50 cm to a maximum length of 65 cm. The length is measured in a straight line from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail (i.e., total length). Authorized gear The use of single barbless hooks is mandatory when using lures, bait and fly fishing in tidal waters. Anglers are allowed to fish in tidal waters with a maximum of five (5) lines and six (6) single barbless hooks per line. And in inland water, anglers are allowed to fish with a maximum of one (1) line and three (3) single barbless hooks. It is still recommended to use barbless non-offset circle hooks when using bait since this type of hook can reduce fish mortality upon the live release of the fish.
