Mandatory NJ Saltwater Angler Registry |
All Saltwater Anglers ages 16 and older MUST register if recreationally fishing (by hand, with a hand line, rod reel and line or spearfishing) in the marine and fresh tidal waters of the State of New Jersey. It is also required for anglers landing any catch in New Jersey even though recreationally fishing in federal waters outside the State of New Jersey.
