If you get a chance, check out how successful the salt water hatcheries have been with increasing the inshore fish like speckled trout. How would you rate your over all fishing in NJ? Do you think we need a change?

If the fluke minimum size were 14" how many keepers would you have caught this year?
If the sea bass minimum were 11" how many keepers would you have caught?
(That's assuming we were allowed to keep them)
What about blues? If we had a Salt water license do you think bluefishing might be better? I'm sure everyone agrees there were not enough blues around this year.
Maybe NJ could build a bluefish hatchery if they had more money.
Lief: Maybe the reason the whiting left our area is due to the fact that we do not have a salt water license in NJ.
I have not seen a shortage of fish in our area this year, just regulations that do not let us keep the fish we catch.
Will a salt water license change that? NO!
