With some anglers even taking advantage of deep cold by fishing through the ice, the conversation focuses on best practices when air temperatures drop below freezing. From keeping fish in the water to avoiding unnecessary contact with ice or snow, they break down cold-weather handling techniques designed to reduce post-release mortality. This episode serves as both an important lesson and a timely reminder for anyone chasing winter stripers along the Northeast coast.
