NJMFC Fluke Meeting - Att Captains

[Angler Paul]

Captains,

We really need more party and charter boat captains to show up at this meeting to support the 11 day extension to our fluke season.

ALERT - NJMFC Meeting 7/11/13



The New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council (NJMFC) will decide whether or not to extend our fluke season at their upcoming meeting on 7/11/13. The meeting will be held at 4PM at the Galloway Twp. Public Library located at 306 East Jimmie Leeds Rd., Galloway, N.J.. Public comment will be accepted at the meeting prior to their decision being made. The three options being considered will be not to extend the season at all, extend it by just 6 days or extend it by the full 11 days that were approved by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMF). In the past the council has shown that they do listen attentively to the public and will usually choose the option that the majority favors even if that option is not the council's "preferred option". Therefore, if you are interested in having our fluke season extended it is important to attend this meeting and voice your opinion. The council likes to listen to a diverse group of stakeholders before making their decision. Therefore, it is important to have individuals as well as representatives from various clubs, organizations, tackle stores, charter and party boats in attendance.
