Tom Fote is the father of that unconscionable and ridiculous "slot limit" in NJ. That's about the nicest thing I can say about him. "Release for tomorrow"--what a pair he has to post something like that as his signature. His organization actually assisted people in obtaining their so-called "trophy card" which allowed them to keep a second "trophy" of 28" or greater, as well as their daily one 28" or over and one 24"-28".
Anyone wonder why the guys in NJ are all coming up to the Canal to fish these days? All I read, on SOL and every other NJ board, is how much the summer (resident fish) fishery has sucked the last 2 years since they went to the slot.
Basically, what Fote and other like him want is to turn the striper fishery into the equivalent of a crappie fishery--acceptable numbers of panfish-sized bass for the common man to take hiome, stuff in the freezer and toss out in February covered with freezer burn.
