Fishing Laws (man laws)
Work should understand you’re leaving early or going in late because the bite is on.
No surfers in our fishing area.
At least one paid fishing day a month that doesn't count against holiday/vacation/sick days.
No poaching.
Once heard that the big guy doesn’t count days spent fishing against your allotted time on earth- that should be the 11th commandment.
No glass on a beach.
No littering
No noise in wee hours of the night in residential areas (stealth)
No setting up bait lines every 5 yards for as far as the eye can see in a rip and then put your camping lantern on full beam
Do not hold your spinning reel upside down.
No 5 gallon buckets unless they are filled with eels or plugs.
No quoting of the projo fishing report
Thou shall not troll through another mans drift
When you say "I got a 30 last night." You must be talking about a 30 POUNDER!
Thou shall not steal fishing gear
Thou shall not spot jump
Thou shall not cast over someone
Thou shall not wear sneakers on the breach ways and fish with 7ft. rods
Regardless of what the wife/girlfriend thinks. You can never have too many plugs.
He who dies with the most gear wins
One should respect someone spot if he or she shows up while u r fishing there one should move
Thou shall not go to another person's secret spot with friends without that person.
Thou shall not throw lead weights on the beach or into the water
Thou shall not cast into surfers/swimmers
Thou shall use the buddy system at night or on slippery rocks
Thou shall convince the boss to have a company outing near the beach so you can go fishing and get paid for it too.
Thou shall teach a kid fishing.
Be respectful of other fisherman's location. We are all after the same goal, FUN! Oh and Dinner
If you have to measure a fish to think it's a keeper, throw it back!
Thou shall respect and know the history of your sport and the people who made it.
No Coleman lanterns
In order to study the striped bass feeding and migration patterns all fishermen must specify in this forum if the striper was from the surf or boat.
The bold letter "S" for surf or "B" for boat must be entered in the context of the post.
Invading space that is close to another fisherman should be avoided unless cleared by the fisherman that was there 1st. Man law would be "If I can hear what you say when speaking in a normal tone over crashing waves and wind then you're too close!"
Charter captains DO NOT own the rips or the area they fish. Just because you have a bunch of people that paid to come out with you doesn't mean you can try to muscle a guy off his spot when he found it and got there first.
NO spot burning for cash (writing articles)
When touristy children have dug hole for sand castle, they MUST fill the hole level before they leave" ... Fallen / Driven into a few holes...
