Raritan Bay poaching striped bass: must read !

[JSBlue26]

This is kinda related to the above post. Just last week a boat out of Point Pleasant did a sea trial in the ocean & happen to stumble across stripers. They caught and released every one. When they returned to the slip there was the game warden. They explained to the Warden what they did and were issued a citation because of the season being closed even though nothing was kept ! Just a heads up for all of us......and I Agree that a saltwater fishing license is not the answer. Honesty is, but unfortunately it’s rare these days with the bag & size limits. Hopefully it’ll discourage those who do poach any fish in NJ.
