NJ State Fines

[Humanzee]

I dug up this OLD post from Gerry Z. With talk of "piracy" and "filleting at sea" with the new fluke regulations - combined with an increase in DEC/ECO presence - just something to refer to. I don't know if these rules, regs and amounts have changed - this is from 2009.

(I also only copied and pasted it since the rest of the thread was filled with other BS that there was no point in bringing up again).

[Reelron]

I wonder if these fines have been updated recently? If not you can rest assured that one of our "Honorable" state representatives is probably sitting around right now telling his staff to draw up something to increase these fines as there is money to be made here!

[Capt. Debbie]

I agree. You pay double that just in fuel for the day.

Now $250 per fish that's the ticket or more. $500/illegal fish?
