Time to get creative!
 

So we know what the rules are in NJ.. 3 Fluke 19"....2 Sea Bass 12.5 and 50 Porgies and whatever else we are allowed to keep including Ling..Bluefish @15 and now some people are eating Sea Robins..etc. So gather some intel...get a game plan together and try to target catching some allowed species and put a bag of fillets together. That's my plan. I want to go home with fish to eat! Of coarse you need a boat or are really good at fishing from shore. It can be done ! Tight lines!

We need a boat, can we go on yours?

Re: Time to get creative!
 

NJ is 3 @ 18, NY is 3 @ 19.

Re: Time to get creative!
 

Porgies are still 50 and Seabass is 2 not 3. As previously stated Your fluke was wrong also. Your 'game Plan" should be to learn the regs. Then set out on the water in Your boat.

The rivers are full of Oyster Toads.. Ugly as hell, but good meat...
Probably load up on eels if you fish at night, any bait at all will do...
Sea Robins are pretty good as well.. I dunno, I think its more than meat..

its the hunt, and then enjoying the fish you want to eat, not so much the ones you are forced to eat..
Its kind of like hunting.. Chicken , beef and pork are better eating than deer are to most people, and cheaper when all is said and done, as well as much easier to obtain.. However deer hunters for the most part want to eat the deer they kill.
As you know, if it was just about the meat , Shrimp, Scallops, even Crabs and Lobster are cheaper and easier to obtain for many people than a couple pounds of fluke fillet are these days.. Its about the hunt, the sport, the challenge if you will, and then reaping the rewards with a good meal or two...
Your point is well taken, I know where you are coming from,, just adding my $.02

Navesink was devoid of them last weekend.

It's always about the hunt for me. I am a fisherman above all. I just wanted to share my thoughts about the limits and what we can do to bring home some fish for dinner. If I come home with 2 or 3 meals I am more than happy. Tight Lines!

"Chicken , beef and pork are better eating than deer are to most people,"

If this applies to You, You have no soul.
