Keep the signatures coming gentlemen and ladies. At 99 for one day so far, a good start but far from where I personally believe the number can go.

Dan can we talk tomorrow about ideas of how to expand our audience and get this in front of the much larger fishing community. Anyone else with ideas about the use of social media or any other ideas, I'd appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Both sectors have made considerable sacrifices as asked or mandated in this fishery only to end up with a stock in worse shape today than it was 20 years ago. There's nothing on the horizon giving hope to reaping the benefits of those sacrifices until the reasons causing the stocks decline have been addressed and changed.

Done, thanks for getting this started Tom.

Just posted this on NYAngler.com, will ping their Fisheries Management guru and reach out to other passionate members there...

Larry thanks so much! Word of mouth and getting this on as many sites as possible or have people come here to NJF will make all the difference in amount of signatures we receive.

Appreciate your efforts my friend! Hope retirement is treating you well.

Jeremy thanks, very much appreciated!

Over 200 signatures today, great start! Thanks for those who took the time to be part of this process and make a difference. For anyone who reached out to other sites, please relay my appreciation. Most of all, this is a very good start, but we need to keep the momentum going. Everyone knows a few people they fish with who love the salt and enjoy summer flounder fishing. Please reach out to them, send the link and ask for their help signing the petition. It takes one email or phone call to spread this to another fishing club or organization or network of anglers to make this petition relevant.

Again great start and much thanks for those who took the time to sign and be part of the solution. Now let's all work together to keep it going!

Gerry any chance of pinning this thread so it gets the exposure we need and the attention the fishery needs and deserves?
