Glad as hell and proud I went yesterday, What a showing! Thanks to all the organizers and fellow Jersey fisherman. Felt good to be part of it. Met up with Leif and Tin Squid after the train and went to the rally site early. Once on the platform we ran into Monger Nation, Stelly, Capt Dan Reelmusic, Capt John Chev, Reel Nauti and all the usual suspects. Great group to hang with for what turned out to be the best 17 hour non fishing but fishing related day I have experienced. Ray and Tony Bogan did a great job and the crowd from all over the country was like you knew them your whole life. Speakers were well versed on the issues and i hope they follow through on their statements of support.
Maybe a first step in change but I believe it was a huge statement and a sounding call for the participation to continue. Sounds like more rallys and unified participation will be the norm instead of the exception as the fight continues. Keep reminding your elected officials of their role and their statements in the future via e-mail, fax etc.

Again great day and good job by all who went and those who couldnt but supported via other means.

Thanks Leif and Ken, had a great time.
