So no bass fishing until 3rd Saturday in June (not even catch and release) in Jefferson County. Do these regulations apply to all of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence river? I don’t bed fish or keep bass anywhere, was hoping for some prespawn fishing. This may be a stupid question but how does a body of water have borders from a county anyway. If your 30 miles off shore or 2 for that matter, what determines which county regulations would apply? Is it where you launch?
