Headed out on the Bogans basin bus after meeting Capt Rich and Captain Joe for the long bus ride to Washington. as we got to the rally station we could see there were many less than had been standing there 2 years previous. Probably about 1300 total , with about 200 being from NJ .sad to say we didnt even have 1/10 of 1% of the registered NJ fisherman there.I can only hope the people who spoke there today just figured in todays economy it was tough for people to get there, and Not that 99.9% of the fisherman just dont care enough to fight anymore.after the first 2 hours there were only about 300 fisherman still there listening to the remaining speakers.These people came from much further than NJ ,, and should have been given a little more respect by the crowd at least hearing what they came there to say.I think the ball to push for reform was definetly dropped today and can only hope the senators who spoke continue to keep it in play
