Spike in Traffic and New Regisrants

[CMA719]

Another new member here. I lurked on this site for a little while, and saw that it is a knowledgeable group of good people here and I wanted to be a part of it!

Regarding the uptick in new registrants, it probably has a lot to do with the pandemic and the increase in fishing activity across the garden state. As others have said, all of the fishing equipment in many of the chain stores (and even online) is sold out.

Between hiking, fishing, botanizing, bushcraft, etc. we spend a lot of time outdoors as a family, and I've never seen so many people outside (and yes many of them are fishing).
