American shad fishing is closed on all NJ rivers with the exception of the Delaware River. River herring fishing is closed on all NJ rivers.

Rutgers has a Scientific Collecting Permit which allows them to capture A. shad & river herring via nets, hook & line, etc. for a tagging study on the Raritan River.

Very nice Mr. Shucker. These tidal rivers come to life when there's good flow.

It's good to see another river LOVER taking advantage of the home waters. I saw Vinnie down there and asked him if he got any Walleye yet, he said nope! Shortly after he sends me a pic of a nice 20 incher. YEA BUDDY!!! Nice mixed bag buddy! I'm glad to see you out and about after a long brutal winter. Were you there when River Rat 2 whacked those Stripers???

I'm jealous...so I went online and ordered 8 traps in diff sizes and colors LOL!

Good stuff, Vin. Hope I get to whet my walleye palate sooner rather than later...
