I disagree , go out to the deep water reef in the spring and watch how many short floaters you see out there because guys are LAZY.

Oh it’s too much work for a head boat , which are the first ones to bitch there isn’t anything to fish for .

Add up the losses everyday for the spring season , it probably exceeds the number of fish kept .


Already states mandating these devices are used for many years already , no reason for NJ to not join those PROTECTING their fisheries . Instead of being more concerned with an inconvenience.
