I understand there is a problem but to ban them is absolutely ridiculous. What are they going to ban next cars?

I believe to justify this problem being fixed with this method you must first solve the more populous problem regarding the plastic bags, pop cans, and other garbage littering rivers/lakes with overpasses. In general, most people who take the time to fish make a concerted effort to conserve the quality of fishing they enjoy, whereas the various trash (figuratively and literally) that inhabits highways and other public areas have no care or conscience regarding what the bag of trash they just threw out the window and down the river does to that particular waterway. You build a house from the ground up. The same rule applies to making rules so lets start from the base of the problem instead of throwing around senseless and uneducated bans that have little positive impacts whatsoever.

JTMH14, There slobs throwing trash out the window on the roads in New Jersey, also. When I drove down to the North Carolina's Outer Banks to go fishing, all the roads were spotless in Delaware, Maryland and North Carolina. New Jersey State Troopers should start nailing all the litter bugs with expense tickets.
