The link to NJ crab pot and trotline regulations is below.

http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/pdf/marine_noncomcrabapp-regs.pdf


Keep in mind you need the $2.00 recreational crab pot license in order to use up to two pots or run a trotline in NJ.    The link the Marine Fisheries licensing page is below.

I don't think it's an either/or situation, but would check with the Nacote Creek F&W office to be sure...

Just to clarify, if you use the traps that the sides drop, you can use as many as you want, but the enclosed (lobster) type traps you are limited to 2 per permit.  Is that correct ?

Also, since I haven't used a side drop trap since I was a kid off the dock, is the method off a boat to drop them in a line, go back and pull them, empty and redrop... ?
