January 26th 2016,

John Maniscalco came down and discussed some of the issues facing the recreational fishermen of ny in the near future. We discussed the new  anglersurvey team that John is in charge of as the Marine Biologist for NY DEC. The group of surveyors will be hitting area fishing docks to ask anglers for honest info about their fishing exploits of the day.   He also touched on different species such as black sea bass in which the data we need for stock assesment wont be available until 2017.  For the season ahead expect more cuts and hopefully with the fluke we should stay at the minimum the same as last year. Members got to vent their frustrations and question John as well as urge him to do as much as possible to help our cause as recreationals knowing how important we are to the economy and just how many of us are affected with each and every decision the dec makes when they have to enact measures to meet federal guidelines for fishery management.
