We All Should Not Register...

What is the penelty for not regestering?

Nothing, if you dont get caught. [hihi]

mightyhunter · Mar 8, 2010

next year we will pay the state for a saltwater license

Not me! They can take the fish and stick it where the sun don't shine. Sold my boat 4 years ago because of all the regs. It sucks because I love saltwater fishing too. Atleast they stock fish in fresh water so I understand having to pay. Fee for saltwater fishing for WHAT?

They can't catch us all!

i didn't register yet. i got into saltwater fishing back in july of 2003. i went as much as i could,did'nt catch alot. but loved being on the beach with even 1 line in the water . now i have to pay for this enjoyment as well [down][down]. how much f king money does the state want????? they can go f themselves if they want a dime out of me. i think we/i pay enough to hunt.

will a saltwater license keep beaches and waters open for us to fish in/on??? probably not

I registered but that doesn't mean You I have to register the following year. Maybe I'll just go on party or charter boats who have the license.

ithaca10 · Mar 8, 2010

I registered.

With this mentality, you might as well stop purchasing hunting licenses and permits too.

hammer4reel · Mar 8, 2010

I think registering can in the long run help us.
Hopefully they see there are ALOT of recreational fisherman and dont slam the new catch shares down our throat, because that will end ocean fishing as we know it.

Register and let the numbers be heard, the better they see what the REAL numbers are the better we will be included in the Magneson rebuild

Yea, Ok. Good Idea. [eyeroll][down][down]

I just dont see why there is a need for a "Saltwater Fishing Licsense" there is a HUGE number of fishermen in this state there are way more fishermen in NJ, then there are hunters. And alot of young kids fish also.

This is just typical jersey bullshit, or federal or whatever group of nimrods made up this rule.

This is all about $$$$$.

happybloodtrail · Mar 8, 2010

They aren't making young kids register. [spy]

Think of this year as a free b. Don't like it, then you don't fish. Same as hunting or freshwater fishing. Well, I guess you can be an outloaw and just ignore the regs.

Only if there as big as the ones you were catching last year. [hihi]

DROPTINE69 · Mar 8, 2010

I have no problem Registering. But, if they think I'm going to buy a "Saltwater Fishing Licsense" next year there nuts.

hammer4reel · Mar 8, 2010

HA HA we catch BIG STRIPERS every year.

bayonne · Mar 8, 2010

if you want to fish for stripers from the surf you need to register

At least they stock fish in fresh water so I understand having to pay. Fee for saltwater fishing for WHAT?

They don't stock deer, but we all keep buying the license to hunt. The money is going to used for research to get a better idea of 'who' is catching the fish and what kind. This can go either way. A longer season for the recreational fisherman or a shorter one, same goes for the commercial guys. Right now they have no idea who is catching more fish. The fees will help get the data they need.
Same as hunting fees go to research to determine season length and harvest amount. The fee is needed to preserve the resource. They keep cutting our numbers and the length of our season based on fiction and guessing not fact.
I can only hope the money collected gets put to good use. The only place that collects fees and gets to keep that money is the Division of Fish and Wildlife. State can't touch there funds so that's who I want to collect the saltwater fee. The bureaucrats can't get their grubby paws on that money.

blackeyes · Mar 9, 2010

so is the coast guard going to be making stops to check people have this?

mightyhunter · Mar 9, 2010

They don't stock deer, but we all keep buying the license to hunt. The money is going to used for research to get a better idea of 'who' is catching the fish and what kind.

So are you gonna have to check-in your fish? They still won't know how many fish are being caught and what size they are. There research is all BS there are tons of fluke and every year they raise the size limit.[down]
