Lets face it most of us could attend more meetings than we do. I will say Capt Ron has supported ALL of my efforts for SSFFF and RFA NJ as well as serving on boards and being a vocal supporter of ALL recreational fisheries issues.
Lets not fight each other no matter what region of the state we fish from.
I wish that public comment meant more than it does and it wont until there is one opinion and one voice from the masses of recreational anglers. Sadly we don't have that yet. Whatever the NJ Fisheries council comes up with it will have to meet the harvest reduction and mortality rate @ 18% so don't expect much wiggle room.

Demanding "Slot fish" is a double edge sword as under the current MSA it is believed Slots in any species will increase harvest and mortality rates thus reducing bag and season length even though its not true in all instances.

Also getting a Slot doesn't mean you get that as an extra fish or 1 @ a slot and 1@ at current size. It could mean that's the only fish you get.
