Can't make this stuff up:

The percentage of people summoned blows my mind. When 30% of the fisherman don't have a license something is seriously broken.

don't issue fines just confiscate the gear that will get their attention.

I think NY confiscates gear?

[Bergen Angler]

I wonder whether Citizen arrest can be enforced to those who violate fishing regulations.

Andy, where did you find the NJ Fish and Wildlife Police blotter?

[NorthJerzyG]

I think this is all from the NJ conservation officers Facebook page. I was reading through a few myself. Reminds you to treat the resources that much more carefully with so many people out there abusing them.........

[FishNJ1162]

Never once had a bad experience when a CPO made contact with me. Always professional, and always level headed. Even when I was unknowingly in the wrong. Keep up the good work, guys. Always makes for some great stories, I'm sure.

I don't really understand the need for a fishing license in some waters. I mean you are going to make people buy a license to fish for carp in the Cooper river in South Jersey ?????

That sounds more like harassment than checking, honestly....
