We kept the rules the same as previous years, all NJ and federal regulations apply to season, size and bag limit. We did not change this to NJ waters only since that would limit the boundaries for several species including shark, tuna, sea bass, blackfish, bluefish, and fluke which are frequently caught in federal waters. Also it would be near impossible to enforce and verify a fish brought to a participating weigh station was caught in NJ waters. While we do not encourage traveling great distances to catch a fish that is easily caught off the coast of NJ it is within the scope of the rules assuming it conforms to NJ and federal regulations.
