Saltwater fishing license:

[Charlie B]

As someone who's favorite forms of fishing was drifting for fluke but now I don't salt water fish at all I will tell you this. The reason I gave up on salt water had nothing to do with the lack of ramps, or reefs, or enforcement, or anything more money might and I emphasize might improve. It was the regulations and only the regulations that made me give up on saltwater. Specifically the ever increasing length limit for keepers. Now I hope there is a chance that the regulations will get better and we will see about that. I would love to go back to drifting for fluke. But forcing a license on salt water fishing is just another slap in the face of those who fish salt water and another reason to give it up...Charlie

On Sunday, January 27th, 2019, CPOs Merritt and A. Sutton focused their patrols on ice fishing activity on Cranberry Lake, Byram Township, Sussex County and Lake Hopatcong, Roxbury Township, Morris County. A total of twenty-two fishing inspections were conducted and eleven summonses were issued for fishing without a license and take/possess panfish over the limit.

So think for a moment if you needed a saltwater license. Look how many freshwater fishermen do not buy a license. How do you patrol 127 miles of coastline and back bays ? I bet only HALF of the people that go saltwater fishing in New Jersey would purchase a license, and I bet that number would be greater for out of state fishermen.

Minutes from the February meeting of the New Jersey Fish and Wildlife Council meeting: and I quote

"Councilman Robinson reported that in the last month and a half he has attended a lot of meetings which include Hunterdon, Somerset, Union, Middlesex, central region. He would like to thank Director Herrighty, Chief Stanko, and Chief Barno for coming to the Hunterdon County meeting and giving an interesting presentation, all the sportsmen were very appreciative. He is working on the all‐water license and he needs some information to come up with a price and some numbers."
