Re: Catch and Release
 

I am still trying to get my ONE keeper in the surf this year. It will be for the family at the dinner table, if I get one. I usually give my blues to my neighbor whose mom makes soup with them. I will keep two small blues for the BBQ. Gonna try Tuesday for my first keeper this season, on the beach in the surf.
See 'ya all alter, Robbie

This is a topic that doesnt have a soltuion nor answer nor right or wrong to it....

- always promote catch and release
- if you aren't / get educated - who am I to tell someone how they should police their catch - im not the one paying for your gas, boat and slip.
- keep the harvest for generations to come
- to each his own
- and if we dont keep em / the commercial boats and gil netters will

Re: Catch and Release
 

Hi again thanks to all. This was meant to be a discussion of takers and releasers I was trying to find out how many people are practicing C&R and how many keep all they are entitled to. I do understand that the guys that don't get out much keeping and the charter and head boats need to keep.it was more about the regulars that get out quite a bit. I should have said that at the beginning my bad:eek: . But it's seems as I thought most of the guys getting out a lot keep some fish sometimes but most do C&R. Sounds to me like we are doing a pretty good job trying to protect the stock of these beauties in NJ. For you guys that make a living by fishing I'm also glad you catch your charters fish and totally understand it's the clients call what to take. If they don't show their buddies this fish they can't spread the hype. Tight lines my brothers and sisters. Catchem up and let go when you can.
