Now is the time to RALLY FOR OUR REEFS... and prove to Trenton that we WE WANT OUR REEFS BACK - now! The USF&W, NJDEP and NJDFW say the reefs belong to anglers and spear fishers - so why are commercial trappers dominating them? Recreational anglers have paid for the reefs - so why must we endure lost rigs and anchors and subject ourselves to dodging trap markers? Why are anglers & divers being denied access to a resource designed for hook, line and spear fishing! Why isn't the DEP complying with the approved NJ Artificial Reef Plan? Why is the State jeopardizing $1.9 million in federal funds by turning their back on this problem? Why are 'ghost pots' ignored and continue killing reef fish every day? We want answers - but we need action! Come hear what the legislators have to say about NJ's reefs. If reefs are important to you and your organization - then attend this important event. Join nearly 1,000 people expected to attend the Mako Mania/Reef Rally on Friday, June 26, 2009, 6:30pm. If you missed the Mullica Hill Rally or the Battle of Monmouth Rally that helped us keep our freedoms to fish, hunt and trap - then you won't want to miss this rally!
