Landlocked herring taken from lakes within
these counties may only be used on the lake
from which they were taken. Any unused
herring must be returned to the waterbody
upon the conclusion of the angler’s fishing
trip. They may not be transported away from
the shoreline of the lake by any mechanism.
They may not be sold.
The most effective, legal way, that I've heard of to catch landlocks from the abovementioned lakes is from a boat, @ nite with a latern to attract them, using a Sabiki rig.
For all other freshwater lakes, regardless of
ownership (public or private), only purchased
herring no greater than six inches
in length may be possessed for up to
seven days from date of purchase, when
accompanied by a receipt. The receipt
must list the name, address and telephone
number of the place of purchase, date of purchase
and quantity purchased. This receipt
must be without erasures or alterations of any kind and must have a control number.
For 2014, there is a proposal to increase the limit on landlocked herring that may be taken for personal use, from freshwater lakes in Morris, Passaic, Sussex, and Warren Counties, and Spruce Run Reservoir (Hunterdon Co.), from 10 to 35, and establish a 6-inch maximum size limit.
