Re: Should NJ Go Out of Compliance on Stripers?
Just a reminder that every single state - including Maryland ffs - voted FOR the emergency conservation measures. Every single state but NJ. All the reps looked at the same data and were horrified by its implications - all except NJ.
Rec anglers who care about the future of this fishery should feel alarmed to be represented by the same people who brought us the 2017 fluke fiasco - the sheer willingness to play politics to circumvent conservation, and to entertain lawlessness in a country governed by rule of law.
If NJ goes out of compliance I hope the legal consequences will be swift and severe.
