I went to the Central Jersey Trout Unlimited meeting tonight:

I'll admit that up until I started fishing last year I never knew anyone else my age that fished seriously. From what I've gathered, there are very few serious anglers in the Rutgers community as well. A bass fishing club now exists at Rutgers for those that didn't know, and they've been having a decent turn out as far as a new club goes so that's promising (I should be fishing a few tournaments with them this summer). I also think that ocean fishing is immensely more popular in NJ for all ages and a lot of younger people seem to be doing that more seriously. I've been seeing on facebook lately people my age posting about ocean fishing trips. I think they just like the glamour of being on an expensive and fancy ocean boat to be honest, and facebook is the perfect place to gloat. Nothing screams "success" like a white 20-some year old posting pictures of themselves on a boat with their fashionable boat shoes, khaki shorts, pink Polo, Ray Bans, and Rolex on...
