A few years of slot in New Jersey is enough for you to reach a conclusion? One side you say best fishing ever, the next you say it hasn't returned to the norm. The fish you are catching in Jersey come out of the Hudson and Chesapeake. They aren't resident on the coast. There may be small numbers wintering in the estuaries, but the idea they wiped out the resident local fish is the same kind of science as showing a sonogram of a school of fish as your evidence the population is fine. The trouble is, too many people with similar mentality who are thinking with their wallets have enormous clout with the reg makers.

No, the fish I am reffering to are all the Bay fish, That has not returned to the norm. The migratory runs have been better than ever. Way different. I can go any day of the week, month and catch em in my home waters, pretty aware as to whats going on here. Yes there are curveballs every year. But I did see what a slot limit did... You??? Small number wintering in the Thames? Hudson? Or Offshore in the Mudhole? Kent Island, Chesapeake? or 13 plus miles off the VA, NC coast??? Where did a awesome YOY come from? A Fluke, please explain? catching 30-100 plus fish, times many, every day and its over? You dont see the Carnage I take....
