This NJ registration is required for all 16 or older who fish( crabbing not included) in tidal waters.It is not a saltwater license. I have been checked for it while striper fishing. Just a heads up. It is free. Happy Holidays.
I've been checked three times since they started this, surf fishing and at Shark River Inlet while fluke fishing. I read on other sites that some refuse to register based on "the "gobermints inability to properly manage the fisheries and besides, "who is dem to know what I caught?". I've heard the fines can run $300.00. Pay that once and you could care less who knew who caught what, if anything.
