The wind turbines off of block island hold a lot of fish. Hopefully NJ lets you fish these if they're coming.

If this is a positive for New Jersey recreational fisherman YES, if not, F EM !
Of course like beach replenishment, money talks, nobody walks and it will get shoved up our a****!

Most study’s are showing that fish are avoiding all the areas where the transmission cables are due to EMF.
The northern area could block all migration into the RARITAN bay for all species coming from off shore .

They also have proposed that area closed for 5 years during construction .

IMO that’s a loser for fisherman that have fished structure in that area for a lifetime.
