The new bonus tag will supersede the existing one immediately but will not take effect to 9/1/15 to prevent the needles killing of a 3rd big fish in the spring

Thanks RBC so if/when all that comes to pass, then we will have this?

Total possession limits if you have and use a tag are as follows
- Until 8/31
. 1 fish between 28 and 43
. 1 Fish over 43
- Between 9/1 and 12/31
. 1 fish between 28 and 43
. 1 fish over 43
. 1 fish between 24 and 28

Until it's signed into law, we have this

Total possession limits if you have and use a tag are as follows
- Until ??
. 1 fish between 28 and 43
. 1 Fish over 43
. 1 Fish 28 inches or more
- Between 8/31 and 12/31
. 1 fish between 28 and 43
. 1 fish over 43
. 1 fish between 24 and 28

Thanks Gerry, nothing is easy in this state!

Here's another wrinkle....if, hypothetically, you have already purchased a 2015 bonus tag, will the use of that tag be prohibited once the NJDEP commissioner approves the new regs? Or will the bonus tags purchased prior to the new regs be honored?

Should be an interesting season for you and all the for hires Jay...

You'll have lots of "splanin" to do

I can hear it now...

You can keep this but not that unless you have a tag and if you have a tag you can only use it after 8/31 and only during leap years
