ANTI FISHING LAW IN NEW YORK??????? YUP, it’s already in Albany!
April 6th, 2009SO… in addition to the REDICULOUS Fluke regulations and the up-coming Saltwater Fishing License… there are legislators on Long Island (specifically Assemblyman Steve Englebright of the 4th District Assebly in Suffolk County) who are supporting a bill in Albany for MARINE PROTECTED AREAS (MPA’s) …. aka NO FISHING ZONES!!!
Mr. Englebright… are you serious ? ? ? ? Thanks for “looking out for us” !!!
DON’T DO ME ANY FAVORS Mr. Englebright!
This bill would set the stage for potential MPA’s right here in our own back yards!
This so called “Elected Offical” needs a serious WAKE UP CALL!!!
CLICK HERE to see a copy of the bill, ALREADY IN ALBANY… the one that HE IS SUPPORTING!!!
CLICK HERE TO CONTACT STEVE ENGLEBRIGHT.
Call him, write him and do the same for YOUR local legislators and LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!!
CLICK HERE for a good site to FIND YOUR LOCAL LEGISLATORS.
We need to be ALL OVER this before it gains ANY momentum!
Here is MY e-mail to him, and my letter will be in the mail today as well!
Mr. Englebright,
I’m a resident of Suffolk County and I’m absolutely appalled that one of my “Elected Officials” would introduce and or support this bill!
Are you even aware of the obscene fishing regulations we already have to endure and the nonsense that our so called “Fisheries Managers” use to come up with those ridiculous figures? Not to mention the Saltwater Fishing License that we will be forced to purchase… from which we, THE PUBLIC, can say we absolutely ZERO confidence in?
I’m also the webmaster for a prominent Bait and Tackle retail and on-line store on Long Island. Feel free to visit our Fishing Blog to view some of our customers opinions on how our “elected officials” treat the recreational fishing community.
Sincerely,
