Because they do not not want to be involved in something that might cost them customers ! I don't care and i am retired and i know i am out spoken. What you see is what you get. Do you fish for and eat porgies? Do you bring the kids out for a fun day on the water? Do you catch blues for fun? Do you eat any or release them all ? Do you smoke Fish? Do you you think NJ has opportunity and multiple species of fish for every different type of angler? Do you release all of your Stripers? I only kept a couple each year for the farmer who let me hunt his land. All good catch catch my drift ? We have a great fishery in NJ and enough negativity in this world !!! A MEN !

NJ is a great fishery. Never said it wasn't.. When I can, I too patronize party boats, and enjoy fishing on them, and greatly appreciate how hard the captains and crews work to get some fish for their clients... That being said, there ARE some fish that are better eating than others.. WHY is that such a problem for you?..
If some guys love Porgies, or Sea Robins, or False Albacore, or Chum Mackerel, who CARES if someone else isn't crazy about them???.. thats what makes the world go around.. Differing opinions are a good thing, and are certainly not negative... Like Porgies?.. Great catch and eat all you can find... Some guys will enjoy their day on the party boat, keep a few, give some away, and be happy with that. It simply does NOT affect you in any way.
