Fish & Game

[wwm12]

Was out today on a party boat, not normally do that but with the wind HONKING today we decided to get on a big boat. Glad we did! Fishing was pretty good. The crew of the boat were very good. Thank you.

I'm still a bit fuzzy on why a New York Fish & Game boat boarded us but I am GLAD they did! They are doing their job and I applaud them! From what I know there was a summons issued. It's time to see more of F&G on the water.

I know there are going to be replies on this post!

Heard there was another party boat gaffing SHORTS! So I'm guessing that F&G is on the prowl for shorts. Again, I'm glad to see F&G out there!

Let's face it, the bass need our respect! They can't last forever!

If you were boarded by NY officers, you had to be in NY waters, so they boarded the boat before it "got away", back to the other side of the line. NJ officers usually get the boat when it returns dockside.

Got boarded by NYSDEC on Sandy Hook Reef..
The Rules have changed...they have Authority everywhere, even in Federal waters..

So did we a few weeks ago on the reef. NJ CO's on board the NYC machine. It was my old buddy from the Navesink. Get off a PB in Belmar Monday and there he is again. I am beginning to to worry

We were in/ between the channels and on our way to the dock when the boarding happened.

WHY are you worrying ? If you are NOT doing anything wrong...

Rumor or fact that a PB was gaffing shorts.If it is true what is the name.

I know of two sponsor PBs that don't even have nets aboard and gaff & release stripers all the time. A post here about one of them disappeared very quickly a few days ago.
