One thing I will comment on is that during my summer of explorative fishing in the North half of Jersey, I saw many locations where people would leave their lure packaging, cut out line entanglements and such laying along the shore even in some of the more remote locations I fished in. I don't really get those ones as it is very easy to clean up after oneself.

I had a few annoying occasions where my line would get stuck on someone else's line underwater. I would reel it though and wade out to get it. Sometimes there is still some good tackle attached, roll up the waste line put it in my pocket and properly dispose of it later.

Anecdotes aside, I don't think our fisherperson litterbugs are helping the NJ fishing situation any.
