CO Paul apprehended two individuals on the North Branch of the Raritan River using a cast net to catch fish. The officer observed one individual casting the net as the second was acting as a “look out”. Once the officer stepped down to the riverbank, the second individual alerted the first of her presence. The first individual attempted to conceal the net before he was confronted by the officer. The officer was able to locate a bucket containing two sub-legal largemouth bass and four trout. The individuals, who possessed valid fishing licenses and trout stamps, told the officer they were tired of not catching any fish with their fishing rods so they decided to use a net. All the appropriate summonses were issued

I've caught trout in a cast net by accident trying to catch bait but not cause I was trying of not catching. They should have used the bait excuse, but then again in nJ no nets in trout waters. Idiots.
