Number of Trips and /or sales in 2013 due to Hurricane Sandy

[Gerry Zagorski]

In the same boat as most have commented here. Due to the condition of our Marina, we were not able to get our boat into it's slip until June 1. We usually start fishing in April so we lost April and May.

Opening day fluke and the following 6 weeks was a complete waste of time, money,fuel and bait. Waters off Monmouth & Ocean Counties were ice cold, as evident of the numerous Ling, Squirrel Hake & Fourspot Flounder we caught while bucktailing Fluke. The handful of Fluke we caught during that period of time were all in the 15-16" bracket, and were as cold as winter bottom fish, much less to the fact that they didn't even put up a fight. It was a season I pray never to see again in my lifetime!!!! And everytime I see these numbers reports, I inch closer & closer to making my own rules.......Beginning to think I'm being ruled by a communist government!

We really aren't that far off that assessment.. However, thats the way society is headed.. Its what we demand as a nation, and in our respective states, you in NJ, and me in NY.. We get and deserve the leaders we elect... Its hard to swallow for some of us, but try and keep in mind, we are getting precisely what we demand... bob

AH was a mess well into Fluke season, and among other things there was lots of hostility from the sea streak folks. Didn't really make you want to come down and deal with it

Remember when it is shut down how you stood in the back ground.

Thanks for doing this Dave. Great reply Richie !!

One thing to keep in mind, though - - 2012 end-of-season fishery was cut short by Sandy. I did not get out at all late last season for Stripers and Tog. Hope the powers that be understand the trends though

Larry As the post stated it is to provide info on the.
( Goal is to provide reality to fight the "flawed" Landing numbers for 2013 copied from the post)
This is more to show how many people did not get out as much as they use to. It is not only about revenue lost in the season but time spent while being fishing.
This Poll does not collect any personal info so why not HELP, Dave be thanks for being there.
Common guys put a Bullet in the box to save the future for our kids and generations to follow.

Usually start fishing in April. Did not have boat in water ready to roll until June due to damage from storm.
