One thing is for sure, the council is stacked with Southern NJ people who tend to favor an earlier season.. I have no issue with that since it works best for them..

What I do have an issue with is the obvious lack of representation on the council from Northern NJ. Based on our states population distribution, the northern counties of our state represents 75% of our population so shouldn't the council reflect that in it's members?

Total NJ Population 8.8 million
- Southern Counties Population 2.2 = 25%
- Northern Counties Population 6.6 = 75%

There def are more northern fisherman , but all our back bay stuff here is VERY good in May.
We aren’t losing productive days here .
Fishery CURRENTLY is based on whole state .
As you know our Oceanside bite isn’t good in may , but the back bay bite us just as bad in July when the Oceanside bite is off the charts .


All meetings so far south show the council make up .

I’m being told FG is really trying to get stuff adjusted that meets the majority .
But their hands are partially tied .
