What does not make any sense is that people are voting for one of the choices that is a shorter season.. Id rather go up 1/2in and get 30 more days out of it then keep it at 17 1/2 with a shorter season.. I dont think we kept a 17 1/2 fish all season last year.. Like a few people stated.. It did not do any help at all..

AND... This meeting should be on a weekend when more people can attend.. Not at 4pm on a Thursday..

Couldn't agree with you more. I work in NYC. By the time, I get home it's already 7pm. If these meeting were held later time or in the weekends, I would definitely attend.

Yea by the time I get home and get cleaned up its 530-6pm.. It doesnt make sense.. If they wanted a larger turn out and more people to speak their mind they would have it at a time/day that works for most of us working people.. I think we would have a much better season/bag limit if more of us could go.. Granted they dont care what we think but at least they would have to listen to us for hours on end.. lol.

Last pole we did in 2012 favored larger fish and longer season. Not sure why the change of heart http://www.njfishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43811

I totally agree with you Gerry.. I want to longest season we can get.. It helps the Party boats, charter boats, and bait shops big time.. I dont mind the 18in size limit but give us a long season at least..

Jeff I agree that the time and day of the meeting sucks. as for more voices I think they should listen to the facts about the stocks and flawed science. yes the more audience you get the better the chance of getting things done, this they know and want to keep the group down to minimal amounts.

I agree Richie.. they need more people like you on the board to talk some sense into em!

I believe the 17.5" fish last year helped getting some kids to catch keepers on PB!! At 18" I seen and heard people getting off boats with the kids that did not want to go again, to throw every thing back.IMHO
I voted for option 4 because it will help the businesses down the shore they need all the support they can get.
