One other item, anyone who belongs to the NJ Federated Sportsmen whether through a club or as an individual, attending your county's monthly meetings can go far toward helping you stay informed of the goings on at F&W.

Let me say up front that I supported the barbless hook rules
Changing the day and time of Council Meetings would not make a difference. Most of us just like to bitch but don't want to be involved in making our voices heard. I attended this morning's 2018 Freshwaters Fisheries Forum. All the folks from F&W involved with drafting the new regs were on site. Attendance was pitiful. Only one individual spoke out against the new barbless lure regs. Where were all the other sportsman/women that are opposed to the new regs. Why wasn't the place packed with those who oppose this. What's their excuse for not being able to attend a meeting on a Saturday morning.
