2 yrs ago NJ Banned the bunker reduction boats in NJ waters.the last 2 spring runs have had many huge inshore buner schools with thousands 30# an hundreds of 40# fish taken.Fishing the likes many old salts have never seen.The fishin from boat is automatic frequent inshore oppurtunities have yeilded many large fish for the surfcaster also with NJ's 2 fish(with a bonus tag) law many big bass where taken for the scales an photo's.primarily a summer flounder fishing Scene the whole rec. fleet became big bass men see it every week in the fishing weekly's.It's a catch 22 situation for me.I'am glad to have the oppurtunity for large fish but the #'s of large bass taken leave me wondering how the stocks will manage.From what I understand the large fish oppurtunities up north the last 2 yrs have been off.More than just a coincidence?????Ur guess is as good as mine an probably as good as the ones who figure these things out for us.
