After you read this you will understand how badly New jersey threw bass under the bus. Now it will be hard to stop most of the states from going with two fish limits. Once again the public that bothered to give comments will be ignored. Plus note just how big a percentage the charters are on the fish killed in NY.

It has been getting leaner and leaner for the shore guys down there for awhile now.

As long as were talking, I find the concept of who is a charter captain and who is a commercial fisherman interesting. For the purpose of the IRS how many trips do you need to take before your a charter captain is it one per year or is it a certain amount? Point being: I get the feeling that there are guys out there that say they are charter captains but are really in another occupation and just supplement there income by chartering. I have some sympathy for someone whose full time profession is chartering vs. a part timer. Additionally on a different point. I am sick to death of the so-called commercial fishermen who have other full time real jobs and commercially bass fish. In specific I know full time fireman and policemen who beat the hell out of the bass. I wonder how many of the guys commercial fishing at the block last year? I would suspect very few. Most probably had other jobs which they supplemented by helping to destroy a public resource. And don't tell me that they are providing a public service to feed bass to people who don't have access to bass to eat. No their doing it for the money pure and simple. If your a real commercial fisherman or charter captain, meaning that's how you feed your family I have sympathy, but not for the others.

Nowadays a lot of people have two jobs. It's what people do to get by.

I will make sure I tell that to the fire captain in town that purchased a house on Martha's Vineyard with the proceeds of his commercial bass fishing. How about the teachers fishing off the block the last few summers. I am sure they are having a rough time in this economy. Especially after they had their pensions cut back last year. You guys have all the excuses anyway to get a bigger piece of the pie than the next guy. I reassert my belief that started this discussion. The rules should be the same for everyone. If they are not, special interests groups will fight for the crumbs that remain and eventually here will be no bass to fish for.

Do you really believe someone built a house on Martha's Vineyard from the proceeds from commercial bass fishing ?
