We often encounter these common inquiries from our valued customers. Is it legal to fish in New Jersey? Is fishing free in NJ? What happens if you fish without a license in NJ? In order to fish or take fish in the waters of New Jersey, all anglers are generally required to obtain an NJ State Fishing License. The New Jersey DEP Fish and Wildlife organizes Free Fishing Days during the spring and fall seasons, with the first Free Fishing Day taking place on Saturday, June 3, and the second on Saturday, October 21 in 2023. It's important to keep in mind that engaging in hunting, fishing, or trapping activities without the appropriate license or tag, visibly displayed as required, may lead to a penalty of $10, along with associated costs. The recovery of this penalty is conducted in accordance with the provisions specified in Title 23, Chapter 10, of the Revised Statutes.
