You heard and read in The Fisherman a lot over the winter months about recreational sector separation and Recreational Measures Setting Process Framework (aka, the recreational reform initiative). In this week’s video fishing forecast for the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region we report from the Seaview Country Club in Galloway Township where both the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) met this week to discuss those two very topics. We’ll break down the vote on both measures, but not before we talk about the latest reports on the striped bass and blackfish grounds, while taking a closer look at the regional trout kick off this past weekend with an Open Boat exclusive from Jenni. George has your freshwater report from the Poconos, Capt. Benn checks in from Costa Rica, and Mike Waine from the American Sportfishing Association breaks down the ASMFC/MAFMC decision.
