My dad said if you cant find it in a field, forest or at the end of a fishing line, its not real food. Eating fish and game; growing fruits and veggies - its really a way of life that should not be outlawed.

I know first hand there are a lot of people in the fishing community who have taken the time to brief Jack on what’s been going on with our marine fisheries. At first he was thinking it was the people in our state representing us but that’s not the case. It’s these regional and federal entities like the ASMFC who give the states their quotas and all our state people get to do is divide up the scraps they throw us. The Murphy administration has also left 2 key positions open on our Marine Council a Public and a Sportfish representative. We need those positions filled to round out the council.
