Re: Fluke Regs
FIve it is. I just got home from the meeting a short time ago. Actually it seemed the committee was in favor of option 2 at the start of the public comment period. The comments ran pretty close between option 2 & option 5 with maybe 2 or 3 more infavor of 5. I would say those that spoke for option 5 seemed a bit more eloquent and persuasive and I guess that swung the thinking. Maybe a few more in attendance would have swung it the other way.
As I always say, it would be nice to see these meeting packed. I think LAB took better notes than me so maybe he will add to this?

Looks Like Fluke Option 5 Passed
LAB just texted me from the meeting to say that option 5 passed, which if I have my facts straight, is 5 fish at 17.5 inches from May 5th - Sept 28th. In terms of our pole that ranked 2nd.
I will let Mike "eLABorate" but he said the "for hire" and "southern guys" were in favor of option 5 and the Board reccomendation went from 2 to 5 after hearing public opinions.

Yes you did Howard. And Dave A spoke passionately about liking a smaller size BUT why he didn't think it was the right option. I thought THE swaying argument WAS delivered, quite eloquently by a "for hire" charter boat captain? The southern fishermen wanted the smaller size and spoke (and clapped) to that end. I just went up, told them I came with info from njfishing.com and gave them the numbers. I also expressed that the For Hire votes seemed to lean more towards 5 while the private fishermen leaned more towards 2. Like I was told after the meeting "NOW they'll complain that all they are catching is 17" fish" and I tend to agree. |

Re: Looks Like Fluke Option 5 Passed
I feel like we were beaten up in our own back yard. The council did in fact initially favor option 2 and it was even highlighted as their favored option. However, the majority of those present favored option 5 and it swayed the council. There were more tackle store, party and charter boat representatives there from south jersey than from central and northern NJ. Most but mot all favored the smaller size limit. I know for a fact that many of the stores, and captains in our area favored the longer season but unfortunately they did not show up at the meeting. The council vote was 5-3 with the chairman abstaining once there was a majority. I am certain that with just a little more support for the longer season that the outcome would have been different. Lets all remember that for next year.
