Striped Bass Bonus Program

[Gerry Zagorski]

The Striped Bass Bonus Program will reopen on September 1, 2016. Applications for individuals and party/charter boats are currently being accepted. For information, including application forms and instructions, visit http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/bonusbas.htm on the NJDEP Division of fish and Wildlife website.

September 1 - December 31st one additional fish between 24-28 inches.

I think this makes good sense as the previous programs encouraged people to keep larger breeder fish.

Glad the state is doing it again cause these are better size fish for eating... :)

I did not see any thing about a fee at this time either.

No fee except for the self addressed postage paid envelope you are instructed to provide. The actual postage is somewhere between 1.50 and 2.00 though last year when I put a single stamp and they were gracious enough to pay the difference.
