It's assinine and suggesting a day trip to fish on a NJ headboat is even more assinine!

Waiting for DEC to start boarding NJ boats in NY waters and start writing tickets. We're well aware how NY regs suck. No need to keep throwing it in our face.

The website is called NY ANGLER!

The sad part of this story is how New York dec is forced to have to follow ASMFC decisions its time for
NY to pass laws so NYSDEC is not forced to allow competing states to have smaller size limits as this is considered a tri-state area

What's sad in NJ boats fishing in NY waters for fluke and getting away with keeping 18" fish. So much for conservation. As long as NJ gets theirs you screw NY!

Here's a bit of clarification that may help. So, if you look at any decent chart plotter's cartography you will see that the NYS 3-mile line of demarcation almost completely bisects the ABR from West to East. So if the Jersey boats stay just on the other side of it, they are fishing Federal waters and are therefore immune from NYS DEC checks.

Once they cross to the North side of that state line, they are absolutely subject to boarding and subsequent sanctioning. And of course the main fish aggregator on the ABR is in NYS waters (IFKYK), and all boats tend to hit it, regardless of their origin port of call.

Regional regs are the answer.

Best I could find quickly on-line showing the NYS line of demarcation. Any plotter charting will better illustrate this

Again, IFKYK:
