Game Warden Visit and info

[JimmyMas]

Was really nice to see the F&G warden out this morning. Pulled up in a truck just like my buddies truck thought it was him but nope the warden. Checked my license we talked a little bit and he left. I've been fishing that spot for a long time and it was the first time seeing them there.
On the info side,
Looks like Rutgers is setting up shop under rt 287. There was a construction crew installing a dock near the ramp. Warden mentioned they would be setting up nets up and down the river. Possibly electro fishing certain areas too.

Good to see them out there for sure.....early in the season too. Too many people trashing too many places. I never have a problem with a warden checking things out.

I've been shaken down twice already this year on Hopatcong and RV..Both times the F&G guys have been cool...Looking forward to sicking them on some bucket brigaders this year

When we fished the Spruce Run meet and greet, the warden told us they frequently visit NJF.

Everyone of the wardens Ive dealt with have been great, especially the guy who went out of his way on thanksgiving last year to nail the foreigners on LH in a Dows rental that gaffed a short musky right in front of me, kudos to him. They do visit this site, I had a F+G say hi to me on LH who knew who I was from on here, I love seeing the rules enforced and the scumbags go down

I can't recall seeing a single conservation officer last year.
There can't be that many of them out there.

From what I have read in the paper, there used to be an opportunity to be a volunteer deputy conservation officer, but they shut down program down about five years ago. They say it had to do with insurance liability issues.

Here's an article about it:
