Yes. There a few permits around that allow rod and reel catch. It usually goes by pounds per day but the season isn't as long as recreational season. The guy I used to fish with for blackfish I think had a permit for 250 pounds per day. Starts around the same time maybe a week or two earlier and ends by the end of the year.

Thank you hookset and Steve.. I saw some interesting stuff going on out here on Saturday and let's just say I think the DEC got called in on the wrong boat.

TAUTOG
Any vessel landing tautog for sale shall be in possession of the appropriate tautog permit based on the poundage of tautog in p
ossession. The
possession of more than 100 pounds of tautog on board a vessel or landed from a vessel shall constitute a directed fishery for
tautog. A vessel
participating in a directed fishery for tautog shall be in possession of a valid New Jersey Directed Fishery Tautog Permit. Fis
hermen landing 100
pounds or less of tautog for sale shall be in possession of a Non-Directed Fishery Tautog Permit. The directed fishery and non-
directed fishery
permits are issued in the name of the vessel and the owner, and for the specific gear type(s) used to qualify for the permit. T
he application period for
tautog permits has closed and no additional permits are being issued.
Party and charter boats in possession of either tautog permit are ineligible to operate under that permit when carrying passeng
ers for hire.

The application period for
tautog permits has closed and no additional permits are being issued.

Also try getting one of these permits it's easier getting a pistol carrying permit in NJ. At 100lbs a day at an average of $5.00 a pound it's no longer worth it that's why you are seeing the improvement in the fishery. In RI it's only 10 fish per day commercial limit.
