The reduction boats have to be beyond the three mile limit.We have some out of state ''purse sieners'' working Raritan Bay.Most are out of Manasquan.There was alot of bunker in the bay last year but when the water was too warm for bass.When will our Governor ban purse sieners from Raritan Bay?NY did it along time ago and it is the same bay.As far alot of bunker in the bay?That is the way it is supposed to be and had been since i was a kid.The south side of the bay is as good as the NY side for stripers until the bunker are wiped out by the purse sieners.This spring is going to be a good one for bass in the bay as well as oceanside!
