Violation Fines….

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.

Last Sunday Fish & Wildlife meet me at the road after walking in from the islands in Rumson. Asked to see my license. Then asked to see my clams. Said you have mostly smaller ones here, what do you use to measure? Showed him my paint stirrer with a 1 1/2" painted line. He said your good to go.

Two guys behind me were still with him by time I packed up and drive off. Not sure what happened.

Clamming is prohibited on Sundays in New Jersey, with the exception of a few areas:
Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers: Clamming is permitted from November 1 to April 30 in these rivers.
Raritan Bay and Sandy Hook Bay: Clamming is permitted on Sundays in these bays.
Other rules for clamming in New Jersey include:
Shellfishing is only permitted between sunrise and sunset.
Shellfish cannot be harvested from condemned waters, even for bait.
Shellfish can only be harvested on public grounds using hand implements.
A shellfish license is required.

Ummm…..ok. Is that just your random thought of the day? What do the clamming regs have to do with the original question?

Guy on our boat insisted on keeping a short fluke. You guessed it, game warden shows up. Fined him $80. Don't know if that's the standard charge, or he cut us a break.

Amazing how a simple question gets turned into a shit show.
