Lake Hopatcong:

[AndyS]

Knee Deep Club...ATTENTION FISHERMEN !!! The BRC (boating regulation commission ) has a proposal to prohibit vessels from anchoring closer than 200 ' from the shoreline on Lake Hopatcong, due mostly to all the boats anchoring in Byram Cove on the weekends. (N.J.A.C. 13:82-3.11) You need to email or send a letter asking them to exclude those who are fishing from this, by Feb 3, 2017, to Edward Harrison Jr., acting Chair Boat Regulation Commission, c/o Marine Services Bureau, Div of State Police, POB 7068, West Trenton NJ 08628 . His email is LPPMSB@gw.njsp.org

Maybe the Knee Deep Club can help get an exemption for fishing. They seem to have some influence with the state. No meetings this time of year so it's hard to tell what the club is up to...Charlie
