NY and NJ are both well on the way to becoming california, regarding marine rec. fishing... thats the way the populace of both states vote overwhelmingly, and thats what the citizens want..
There will soon be Marine Protection Areas here as there are up and down the California coast, as well as in europe...
Don't think so??... We have all seen legislation put forth.. it was all over these very pages.. We might dodge it for another 5 maybe 10 years, but with the way NJ and NY populations think and vote its on the way...
A lot of your neighbors want sport fishing of all types abolished, and I fear before long they will get their way.. If you don't believe it, log on to a West coast fishing site, there are several, and see what our pacific coast counterparts have to say about the subject... Your eyes will be opened... bob
