Opinions needed! If you had a wish list for F&G

As we all know budgets are tight so why is fish and game wasting money
on urban pond trout stocking. These waters are not patrolled and limits are
exceeded. The money wasted on these ponds could be used for bass management.

The thought is, it sells licenses lol! I absolutely agree, it's a waste of trout and man power! We all know this is simply another free ride being provided! Hard part is to convince F&G of what you have actually witnessed with you own eyes!

Salt water fishing license in NJ
Many will hate me for saying it but it does two things: raises much needed revenue which should sll go into enforcement and; it gives a count on just how many people/ how important recreational fishing is in NJ/to NJ which will help politically with getting equity and sanity in regulation
Can offer a 7 day tourist license and have head boat/charter boats pay a boat license fee
Againl also pike in Rahway River

I think YOU should get a job with the fish and game, they desperately need some young go getter blood. F&G is a bunch of old, fuddy duddies holding on for their pensions.. Of course you'll have to tangle with the politicians who are also old fuddy duddies

Thanks Wilson! I am the person that Status Quo people hate! Fish and Game needs to re-evaluate many of its long standing practices, start broad planning for the future of NJ's fishery!

This Put & Take Fishery mentality has to go! That is a relic of early 1900's thought process, and is unsustainable! Based on the responses, its also exact opposite of what NJ fisherman want and expect!
