Last night was really a re-cap of the SJBC Fishermen Flea market summary report, NJ Fisheries Forum held at Batso Village (see previous Thread and reporting on this topic), and Wilson Lake new Tournament Requirement Registration Rules, and discussion on future planning on the SJBCA Open Buddy Tournament along with the idea of going from a 7 Bass Fish limit to say a 5-Bass Limit.
