Tom Fote a complete Disgrace to New Jersey

This Fote character is supposed to represent New Jersey?
He has been a disgrace to this state for some time now.
Maybe we can start a campaign to the governor to have him replaced. Maybe that petition site?
Just an idea. He has caused nothing but problems for some time now for the recreational NJ angler.

Quoting Charles Witek's blog (O'Connell was trying to slow the reduction of striped bass reductions, so that Maryland could keep killing more bass):

However, Tom Fote, governor's appointee from New Jersey and long-time opponent of ever reducing the recreational harvest of anything, regardless of the health of the stock, was quick to jump on the O'Connell bandwagon, trying to discredit Augustine with a somewhat unintelligible argument that:

1. "The credibility is that we're basically trying to accommodate fishermen. New York has always wanted one fish. When we opened the fishery when there is plenty of fish, their surf fishermen wanted one fish. That is not the reality in New York."
2. "That is the reality of other states, and this is a compact of all the states that we try to accommodate our fishermen whatever they need"
3. "I have no problem and our credibility always stands as it is"

He's still the mouth piece of the beloved JCAA with his puppet Paul Hartel. They will save the bass my a_s

Told you this for years

Tom Fote = Snake oil salesman

[fishinmission78]

I remember reading an interview he did where he blamed everything on the bunker. He said the Chesapeake stock was down because the stripers weren't getting enough to eat. rofl. There are plenty of bunker around now. what's the excuse now Mr Fote?

Hes at it again, some off-the-charts comments. clueless

"Fote said some New Jersey groups were pushing for one fish per day for the maximum conservation and others wanted two. He said the season could be shortened and there could be a slot limit with two fish. Fote envisioned seasonal changes with one fish at 28 to 34 inches and one at 37 to 38 inches."

I wonder what he'll say after this year is over. Bad for fluke, meh for stripers. Anyone else feel the same way?

[buckethead]

I agree but don't think it will make any difference with Mr Fote. With the remarks he has made about striped bass over the years it seems he lives in his own little world. My .02.

It was simple, when Tom Fote is involved there is no limit to the "Striped Bass Killing" (well at the very least, the limit is too high and goes against public opinion, scientific opinion and common sense).
