New BRC rule would kill fishing on Lake Hopatcong

[Knee Deep Club]

Good morning all!

The Knee deep Club assures fishermen and women we are doing everything in our power to ensure fishing is exempt from the BRC's proposed regulation prohibiting anchoring within 200 feet of the Lake Hopatcong shoreline between May 15 and Sept. 15.

We are engaging the press, notifying key fishing clubs in the state and asking local legislators for their support.*

We intend to speak at the Jan 11 BRC meeting in Sea Bright at 10 a.m. at the Cecile F. Norton Community Center, 1167 Ocean Avenue.

We are considering further action if necessary.

At the same time, we ask those who fish the lake to also prove comment to the BRC and/or attend the meeting.

To comment, email*LPPMSB@gw.njsp.org.

Thanks!
