Default Re: 2015 NJ Regs

The way the NY/NJ regulations work is not based on the port you sail out of, it is where you are at any given point in time.

If you are in NJ and happen to get boarded you need to be in compliance with NJ regs. If in NY then NY regs.

So if you catch a legal fish and have your legal possession limit in NJ, once you cross over into NY, it does not matter if your are fishing or not, you have to be in compliance with the NY regs.

Thus Yasar's fall bonus tag fish between 24 and 28 would be illegal to possess in NY waters since NY laws are one fish over 28".

Lets take the opposite scenario...

Joey 2 Bags from Great Kills Harbor NY jumps on his boat and comes over into NJ waters. Lets assume he is in the NJ salt water registry and catches and keeps 2 fish that are legal according to NJ regs and while he is in NJ waters. As soon as he is crosses back over into NY waters, FUHGETABOUTIT, he is out of complaince since NY has a 1 fish limit.

You got a problem wit dat ?
