There you go again Tony a real thread killer You present facts and people still do not get it. This is great asset for all fisherman. Rsa is not for PB/Charters to make a living its to fund research for OUR fisheries. Pay our own way. As you explained to many on the internet(and myself in person) this program is a big win for fisherman and has been working well for many years. As I understand it( and please correct me if I am wrong) about the only thing that has changed is that more states will issue free landing permits and that in-turn will now allow charter/party permit holders to bid on RSA quota in those states. Where is the giant conspiracy and all the fraud. It blows when peoples agendas gets in the way of the facts. If your life sucks and you hate the government awesome If you think the seasons are too short and size limits are too big wonderful All of that has nothing to do with RSA. Plenty of battles to fight for our fisheries but we need facts and science to win. How many saltwater fisherman are there in NJ? 400,000 or 1,000,000 who knows . If you look at how many registered this year you would say not too many.

Very simple:

The current data is against us right now in terms of fisheries data. We need better data, better data takes money. We need money to pay for this. Everyone won't write a check for $1000, we need RSA. That simple.


Data bad=need to fix=need better science=need more $=RSA helps.

We're only shooting ourselves in the foot here. You think the government only exists to conspire against you, go to another country and find a new government. If not, try to work with them to get the $ for reaserch that we so desperately need.

So does someone actually show up after every trip to do the calculations and measurements or is it random ? If so is it up to the crew to do the work back at the dock? Hats off to whomever has to log all that info prior to fileting. Finally some sound numbers that are in our favor!
