Title: Anyone Tag Stripers??
Post by: Pfishingruven on November 02, 2008, 11:43:22 PM
Anyone tag stripers for the American Littoral Society(ALS)??  I just came across them.  They are based right in NJ here.  Seems like a worthy cause and a decent way to do our part to help the proper study of the fishery.  Only thing I don't understand, is how they make you join with a membership fee, pay for the tagging kits and then call you a volunteer.  I understand they need to keep costs down...maybe if they didn't require a membership fee to tag, more people would participate?!  I may consider doing it at one point in my life...of course that means I have to catch some stripers then to be able to tag them.

Any input would be great!  Thanks.
