Delaware river walleye:

[AndyS]

On February 12, 2023, CPO Hausamann received information regarding two (2) individuals keeping short walleye on the Delaware River near the Kittatinny boat ramp, in Hardwick Township, Warren County. CPO Hausamann forwarded the information to CPO Merritt and CPO Della Vella, who responded to the area and set up surveillance on the fishermen. CPO Merritt observed the fishermen catch four (4) walleye, all of which were not measured and stowed on a stringer. Upon inspection, it was determined that the two (2) fishermen possessed eleven (11) undersize walleyes and were five (5) walleyes over their daily creel limit. Appropriate summonses were issued. From the February 2023 Bureau of Law Enforcement report to the Fish and Game Council.

People as such bags of scum, thinking the laws don't apply to them, selfish jerks. Glad they got caught.

Bravo to good citizen who reported them and bravo to the CPO's for getting them.

Here I was thinking walleye were hard to catch on the Big D, I guess with the State stocking over a million walleye annually they seem plentiful.

Obviously, you don't fish the Delaware R. often. If you did, you would have noticed your increased catch of walleyes while casting artificials for smallies. As you noted, it is due to NJ's stocking of surplus fingerlings.
