F&G Council meeting November:

[AndyS]

I can easily see why freshwater fishing license sales would be down.
Get to the spot all nice and quiet then 50 people come down with grills, water toys etc. and set up on the river banks blasting loud music and completely trashing the place before they leave. It's either that or you get there and people are dragging seine nets up and down the river taking bucket loads of fish. If people were on the fence about continuing fishing in NJ this would be enough to push them over the edge and just throw in the towel.
