Remove Fish Pots Off Reefs

By Thomas

Dear Assemblyman Albano,
It has come to my attention that YOU are holding up the posting of Bill A-1152 in your Agriculture and Natural Resource Committee. As you know this bill has to do with the removal of fish traps off the artificial reefs that recreational anglers paid for. The New Jersey Artificial Reef Program is a very important program for recreational fisherment.
Recreational fishermen raised the monies for this program and now the presence of commercial fish traps goes against the spirit and intent of the New Jersey Artificial Reef Program. ALSO, these traps have been determined to be a violation of the US Fish and Wildlife’s Sport Fish Restoration Program’s regulations and policies. This will cost the State of New Jersey moneys from the federal government. You need to get with it and post the bill.
It amazes me how politicians forget to do the work of the people once elected. PLEASE post bill A-1152 so it can be voted on.
All New Jersey anglers will be monitoring your actions concerning the above stated bill.
Sincerely,
Walt Thomas
Recreational Fisherman
