Your Predictions on the Future of Fishing in NJ

[bassnblues]

I'm 49 years old and have lived in nj my whole life and been an avid fisherman since about 5 years old when my avid fisherman dad started taking me along. Except for trout season, I have never seen "bucket brigades" or Wal-Mart stampedes on freshwaters.

As for the future of fishing in nj, I think the freshwater fishing is better now than ever and hope that continues. Imo, saltwater is in trouble.

The future would be much brighter and better if the state would introduce Tiger Fish, Blue Cats, Payara and Arapaima to all our big river systems. This is just my opinion and I think it sounds delightful and challenging, just saying. Let's spice things up a bit! You know, KICK IT UP A NOTCH!!!!!!

I can see it now............jeremy wade filming an episode on the bid D for exotics with my boy eddie! wonder if andre will make an appearance in background falling in?

I fished the Miami canals for exotics once, it's way overrated. Guapote and oscars are basically giant rock bass. And the vaunted peacock bass fights no harder than a comparable-sized smallmouth. I think we've got the cream of the crop of freshwater gamefish already prowling Jersey's waters.
