Violation Fines….

[Duffman]

Yes I coulda googled but it’s easier to ask here and I’m the poster child for laziness.

What’s the fine for short or over length fish kept or over bag limit kept?

Is the fine different for commercial operators (headboat/charter)compared to a rec guy in his own boat?

In NJ who can dole out these fines? Is it strictly CO’s or can town, county and state PO do the same?

I am sending you a fine for being YOU plus another as a cowgirls fan and another for a Bruins fan.

Sorry for the non answer and Happy Holidays

Did not know any cowgirl fans not originally from that part of the state were allowed to become members.

Teeter is HOT 🔥 How can you not be a cowgirl fan? Fine note - we were checked in the tuna fleet last week by NY state police boat/ told us they were hired by NOAA and only noted your infraction- NOAA would contact you later with ticket. We were good but a buddy had bass in the boat outside of 3 miles/ let him keep fish and 2 weeks later hasn’t got NOAA love letter. We were checked in Hudson by fish and game and told us most of there cases come from social media these days….Stay safe out there Gentlemen 🐟

I saw a game warden ONCE, they checked our clams and we were legit.

I think locally regulated and federally regulated fish have different fines.

LMAO. You kill me Dave. I’d say don’t kick a man when he’s down but I think I’d rather be a Cowboys/Bruins fan right now as opposed to a Giants/Rangers fan!!!!

Back to the original question…….reason I ask is to determine what agencies can actually ticket and enforce fish codes? Again getting back to this whole striped bass closure and asking the question……who in the hell is going to enforce the law?
