NJ Fish and Game Council Meeting 1/8/19:

[AndyS]

Had the day off so attended the F&G Council meeting with The1. Always a ton of info to digest. The hand outs alone have a ton of information on them !
I haven't caught a fish in 2019 yet but I did purchase over $150.00 in freshwater licenses, ordered $100.00 worth of jigs on line, got new line and other items at The Sporting Life on Rt. 22 and attended a F&G meeting so I think I am doing pretty well so far.
The meeting was held at the older building on the Assunpink WMA, the new building was getting an addition. The meeting was 2 part and we didn't stick around after lunch for the public comment section of the meeting. Remember all these Council members are volunteers !
I hope in 2019 if you have NEVER attended a Federation meeting, or a Council meeting or even a local Watershed or Trout Unlimited meeting make 2019 the year to do so. All I ask is you go to just one meeting. One year I want to the Fisheries meeting at the Hackettstown and only 30 people showed up, that's a disgrace. The North Jersey Fisheries meeting will be held on January 19 and I hope to see you all there.
