My concern is about leaving a copy of my fishing license with my personal information visible to all. Leaving my name, address, birth date, height and weight completely visible to all seems like the wrong thing to be doing with all the identify theft happening now a days. I drive a soft top Jeep Wrangler and it would be very easy for someone top open my soft top, take my garage door opener, and get my home address from the fishing license and now have access to my home. I also believe that if you use a boat ramp at one of the WMA you must leave a copy of your license visible too. I would like to propose a second page being given out with the fishing licenses that would eliminate this data but yet still could be used as proof for the boat ramps, etc.

What do you guys think? Is this a valid concern or am I being paranoid?

Night Fishing at Lake Hopatcong State Park?
I thought they closed/locked the gates at dusk ?

Shoreline Fishing in State Park Allowed Until May 25
A permit has been issued to DFW to allow shoreline night fishing until May 25, 2018, at Hopatcong State Park. Locations where fishing is allowed, as well as times and regulations, are found in the permit document.

Anglers do not need a special permit to fish this area but do need to display a legible copy of their license on the dashboard of their vehicle. All regular fishing regulations apply.

hopatcong state park gates are open 24/7 'out of season'. once you have to pay to get in between memorial day and labor day they are locked when the park closes (not sure of the time, but def not open at night at that point)
