NY Bill A722-

Pulled this from the main board if you didn't see it.......

This was introduced last month so maybe this has already been posted. If passed, I'm thinking MLF/BPT would be affected as well as BASS, FLW and all club TXs.

NY State Legislature page for A00722
Action: 2019-01-09 - referred to environmental conservation
Pending: Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee
Text: Latest bill text (Introduced) [HTML]

Summary

Provides that it shall be unlawful for any person to organize, sponsor, conduct, promote, or participate in any contest, competition, tournament or derby where the objective of such contest or competition is to take wildlife.

Bill A722 would NOT affect fishing tournaments in anyway as fish are not classified as wildlife. They are in a seperate classification on there own. IE..Department of FISH and wildlife. This manily stops the statewide coyote contests that have run for years. It's center of focus is around hunting contests and not fishing tournaments. I would bet my bottom dollar this doesnt get very far anyway.

News ran this story last night. Reported that fishing tournaments were included. I have read the whole proposal and it does not seem to include fish as well,maybe I`m missing something.

Those idiots in NYC have no idea what impact tournament fishing has on the state. The money that is generated from tournaments is endless; between permits, licenses, registrations, inspections, gas, lodging, impulse buys, ramp fees, out of state anglers,tax.....
I can keep going and going .... ...
