Anyone here from New York

Ok ,Now that you moved us over here just what do you plan on doing with us, ummmm? :1143_neener_neener_neener:

Oh yea just so that you guys up north of here have a better understanding of what goes on south of Long Island, most of us do our fishing and boating in the New York Bight. It is a shared waterway of both New York and New Jersey, just as the Long Island Sound is common between NY, Conn, and Rhode Is.

Even though we all share common waters, each state has very different Fishing Regs. It baffles me as to how this is possible since the fish don't have any idea what State they are swimming in, nor do most common boaters. :471_confused_face:

All we can hope for is that one day somebody will figure out that most of the waterways up here are common ground used by many and should have common laws and regulations just as navigation does.

It sure would make things a little less confusing. :753_hammer_hitting_head:

BrokenWrench It's all about money. With different regulations they get to charge us more fees, which are just another form of tax. We need a NJ and NY lisence plus a federal lisence to chase tuna and sharks; then the tax on fuel and bait and tackle which now goes into the "General Fund" and not dedicated to fishing related activities. Yea, we are getting killed. I even need another lisence when we go down to Hatteras.
