Allow Recreational Anglers Access to Artificial Reefs!
BACKGROUND: There\’s a new term being bandied about by nearly 1,000,000 anglers that are either New Jersey residents or travel to the Garden State to fish, they call it Pay and No Play.
To be clear, Pay and No Play does not reverse the contentious practice of granting exclusive privileges found in \”Pay to Play.\” Rather, the definition of Pay and No Play is when recreational anglers pay a federal tax included in the price of fishing supplies, a portion of which goes towards the maintenance of artificial reefs, but unbelievably, are obstructed from freely using these reefs.
