Reel In The Fun On Free Fishing Day In New Jersey

For two days, you're allowed to fish on the state's public waters without a license or trout stamp.

New Jersey's Free Fishing Day is tomorrow and then again on October 18th.

Kids under the age of 16 don't need to have a license to fish in New Jersey, but adults do, so the state is hoping families will get outdoors tomorrow and enjoy some family time without having to purchase a license.

"For those who may not be aware, freshwater fishing in New Jersey has never been better. There are more kinds of fish and more places for people to catch them than ever before. Thanks to the Hackettstown and Pequest State Fish Hatcheries, anglers can try their luck for stocked muskellunge, northern pike, walleye, striped bass hybrids, channel catfish and lake trout in New Jersey’s larger lakes as well as rainbow trout released into the state’s smaller streams and waterways," according to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Just remember when you're out there that all other state regulations are still in effect, including size and daily catch limits.
