This is getting deeper already.I'm asking a few NJ guys on another forum for some more info.I think basically it's coming down to the boats are exploiting the rules and the areas.The share we are giving them is not being watched carefully enough and they are overfishing.From what I'm reading they are already taking more than they should this year but how does anyone really know until it's too late.Like last year.If it fails again this year we will really need to push for a new plan.Not just sit back and watch them rape the bay again.
