Effective 6:01 PM, December 8, 2014, no vessel shall land or possess and no dealer shall accept
any black sea bass in excess of the by-catch trip limit of 50 pounds through December 31, 2014
or until such time as the seasonal by-catch is projected to be taken. By-catch landings may not
exceed ten percent, by weight, of all species landed and sold.
The 2015 season 1 directed black sea bass fishery will re-open on January 1, 2015, with a
directed trip limit of 1,000 pounds three times per two week period or 1,500 pounds twice per

New Jersey Black Sea Bass Dealer:

recreational fishermen do not require permit to catch and are not dealers...
