Opening day is April 5th right?

Then why are there people fishing in Seeley's Pond today? What's the number to call to report violations?

If people are fishing there today it should be reported

1-855-OGT-TIPS (1-855-648-8477)

Go get 'em...

I saw people there 2 days ago fishing also. Didn't know the number but will store it now. Pass it on the way home from work every day .

They should have the number on the stocking signs to report a violation.

The NJ Pocket Ranger App has an Alert button to make it easy to notify them. It also has a lot of great information as well as a fishing near me feature. Was visiting my brother in south jersey and it helped me find a nice little spot nearby. Must have for any NJ fisherman.

SHIT! That pond always gets poached heavily before opening day.
It's a bad location.

I can't remember what year it was (1990's or early 2000's) but a while back nearly every trout was poached from the pond before opening day.

Opening day came and people were standing around looking at the water wondering where the hell all the trout were. I finally caught one trout and it already had a hook and a few inches of line in its mouth.

I showed the trout and complained to a conservation officer and he just shrugged and said they can't be everywhere at once.

****ers!

Can local cops ticket fish poachers fishing out of season on closed waters?

Wilson, was it the guy sitting near the wall with the big white surf rod ? I saw him there at 5:50 passing by headed home from work.
