Don't know if anyone else has heard of this, but it just burns me up they'd even let government consider doing it. The recreational fishing industry already generates a ton of revenue for the state. If anyone is interested in the online petition, even if you're not from New Jersey, I think it'd be great to respond. There's a section in the petition for comments.
Happy New Year.
It looks like we may have to start the new year in NJ with a battle.
The State is pushing to implement a Salt Water Fishing License in NJ. There is a website doing a petition to fight this...
