Thursday 1/26: A report from Lloyd Malsin of No-Time Charters

Headed to our local cod grounds and found the fish waiting with a surprising catch of quality cod and ling to make a great day of winter fishing. Once again Dave Goodman showed his skills with high hook honors now known as King Cod. A Great day with Captain Nick Savene who put us on the meat!

Friday 1/20: A report from BAN ON LEAD of KEEP AMERICA FISHING

The debate over lead in fishing tackle is heating up again and KeepAmericaFishing" is calling on you for help. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was recently petitioned, again, to ban lead in all fishing tackle. At issue are several things: there is no scientific data to support the argument that lead in any fishing tackle is harmful to bird populations; alternative metals can cost from 9 to 18 times more than lead; and most alternatives to lead don't perform as well. Help us put an end to these unwarranted attacks on fishing. With your gift of $25 or more by January 31, you can help KeepAmericaFishing pass legislation that will once and for all prevent a federal ban on lead in recreational fishing tackle. As a thank you for your support, you'll receive a free KeepAmericaFishing cap with your gift of $25 or more. Don't miss this opportunity to let your voice be heard. Renew your commitment to KeepAmericaFishing today with a gift of $25, $50, $100 or more and help ensure that recreational fishing remains accessible to everyone. Continuing the fight on your behalf, Gordon Robertson KeepAmericaFishing"

Sunday 1/15: A report from Recreational Fishing Alliance of RFA

NEW YORK SPORTFISHING FEDERATION & RFA-NY SEEK PUBLIC INPUT Upcoming NYMRAC Public Hearing To Set 2012 Limits In Motion On Tuesday, January 17th at 7 p.m. the New York Marine Resources Advisory Council (MRAC) will hold a public meeting at the office of the Bureau of Marine Resources at 205 Belle Meade Road, East Setauket on Long Island. New York saltwater anglers who are interested in hearing about and participating in the setting of 2012 state regulations for key coastal fisheries are encouraged to attend. On the agenda for the evening meeting of the MRAC on January 17th are the 2012 fluke and black sea bass regulations for New York's sportfishing community, as well as issues related to the MRAC's tautog management sub-committee. The New York Sportfishing Federation is encouraging its members to consider attending one or two of the next MRAC meetings in East Setauket to get involved in the regulatory effort. "More often than not, individual anglers have an opportunity to influence the Council's decision at these meetings through public comment and a show of hands vote," said Jim Hutchinson, Jr., president of the New York Sportfishing Federation and managing director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA). "This is a public process, and in order for it to work properly on behalf of the coastal constituents, it requires some public participation." Officials are looking at the possibility of loosening the fluke regulations for the 2012 season based on reports compiled through 2011 recreational harvest showing New York fished under last year's allowable limit by as much as 50%. Because of the underage in fluke harvest from last season, MRAC members will be looking at the potential of lowering the size limit on fluke in 2012. "This is the time of year where the decisions are made on what our fishing season will be, or not be, for the upcoming season," said MRAC member and New York Sportfishing Federation board member Bob Danielson. "It is critical to get the recreational sector involved in the process. The managers need to hear from you. "The regulations we see each season essentially trickle down from the fed through regional fisheries councils, and ultimately to the state level as we see at MRAC," Hutchinson said, adding "this is where the final limits for 2012 will first be discussed publicly here in New York, and New York Sportfishing Federation and RFA members are encouraged to join us for the discussion." The MRAC was established by the New York State Legislature in 1987 to provide advice to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) on issues pertaining to New York's living marine resources and the fisheries these resources sustain. The Council is comprised of 15 members, seven representatives each from the state's commercial and recreational fishing industries and the Dean of the Marine Sciences Research Center (now the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences) of Stony Brook University. Among the MRAC's statutory duties are to consult with commercial and recreational fishermen on recommendations regarding marine resource program needs, while providing recommendations to DEC on any proposed regulations for the management of marine fisheries. "I would recommend that every recreational angler either attend a meeting of the Marine Recreational Advisory Council or, at the very least, send in written comments to the NYS DEC Marine Resources Bureau or MRAC," Danielson said, while adding "Don't miss the opportunity to become part of the process and remember, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil!"
