Baliffs ?

I know them as "Game Wardens".

My friend has a cabin in the Poconoe Mountains, Penns., and his brother
lived in Georgia. I
live in NJ. Well we went to a lake nereby and we were approached by an
older gentlemen with
a 9mm and a Penns. badge. He asked us both for licenses. We both
produced "out of state"
licenses and we sat down for a little while and had a nice chat.

Here in NJ evey so often an unmarked blue Chevy Caprice will show up on my
beach. The only
identifying mark is the "SG" on the license plate. He isn't there to
check licenses, he is
there to check to make sure the Fluke are the minimum size or other Salt
Water regulations
are not breached.

Having Fish & Game licenses and fines doesn't bother me. Hell, it helps
raise funds for
stocking programs. What I object to is the minimum size for Fluke is
16.5" and the average
fish falls well below maybe maxing out at 13".



I could live with 16.5 " for fluke.
In NY and Conn it's 17.5".

Yeah, I heard about that. Many boats out of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, NY, come and fish the
Jersey Shore and they can fish the same waters as Jersey party boats but they have the limit
because they start and return to NY waters.

I think the disparity SUCKS !
