What HAPPENS if you get caught fishing without it if it is FREE?????.Can't find that answer anywhere:confused:

The registry is free (for now) and if you get caught with out a card your are subject to fines... What those fines are I have no idea.

Gerry,
That's my point. Not even NOAA can answer that question because I called and asked:eek:

Re: If You Plan to Saltwater Fish in NJ Read This
 

Did you ask who is going to enforce this if they ever figure out what the fines are? Sounds like a job for the Coast Guard.

No did not ask that question got to frustrated trying to get the fine question answered after talking to three different people and 25 minutes later :mad:

What if you are not NJ resident?? I mainly fish from charter boats but do occasionally fish from the beach/ jetties. Do the same rules apply or is there a different set of rules for non-residents???

Thanks

Mine came in the mail today. Took about 3-4 weeks. Now big brother knows im a fisherman. :cool: :cool:

Later this year when they publish the proposal to charge for registering they will no doubt also publish penalties. For now the enforcement is only warnings.

If you fish from a charter or party boat you should be covered by their permit/license.

If you are fishing from the surf you need to register.
