Not so much when the water temps are cooler and I may be completely off base on what I said. Maybe somebody will chime in that knows for sure.
Not a problem, jiust read the KY regs as if you were a lawyer...2 fish limit (in possion). So, after you limit, should you catch another striper, while fishing for Kentucky or small mouth, simply release it and no harm done. Fish on my friend. BUT BE WILLING TO PAY THE GUIDE FOR THE EXTRA TIME ON THE WATER. READ THE LARGE PRINT. X HOURS OR 2 FISH LIMIT AND TRIP IS DONE!!!
