Tell Congress: Support Recreational Fishing! and tell him/her to vote YES on H.R. 1335. It’ll only take two minutes, but will go to impact generations of outdoor activity and commerce.

Been trying to do this for the past couple of years Gerry, not many got on the bus from NJ and it was embarrassing to say the least...Yes, maybe it's easier to go online and and tell someone to Vote Yes when in fact NONE of them really give a shit what we think anyway. Sad, but very true...even Pallones mentor Laughtenberg didn't have his back when it came to this, so what does that tell us....Just fish and forget all this BS...Nobody cares anymore.

I hear your Ron but it's worth 2 mins of everyone's time to at least write.

Funny I got an email from a conservation group who kind of made it sound like they had fisherman in their best interest who want me to oppose this bill. I say this because we have to [B]carefully read the things we sign up for and rally for, it may be a "wolf in sheep's clothing"! Thanks for the heads up Gerry, You got it!

Done. But don't stop here. Wait a few weeks and call your congressman and ask for an update on thus bill. Ask for his opinion and why he supports it or why not. Stay in contact with your representative concerning this bill.

I had already submitted my response . Capt Ron has a valid point, that last bus from Highlands definitely was not standing room only !
Hopefully the hundreds of no shows will be able to use their fingers where they couldn't find time to use their bodies in a show of solidarity .
My guess don't hold ur breath !!
