Personally, I hope it's too early for ice to be forming on lakes, ponds, or even on puddles near my home, but it's not too early to join NJDEP Fish & Wildlife's R3 Fishing Program for an introductory Ice Fishing Seminar.
This free seminar, scheduled early in November, is designed to provide an informative and welcoming environment to prepare you for ice fishing. This program is open to experienced anglers, 18 years and older, who will be introduced to the sport of ice fishing by outdoor and ice fishing enthusiast David Alexander. David is a lifelong educator, naturalist, and conservation biologist. This seminar will cover ice safety, staying warm and dry, targeting specific fish species, depth maps, ice fishing equipment, knots, bait selection, and techniques. Through lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on components, you'll leave the workshop prepared to hit safe ice - if and when New Jersey gets any this winter.
Sunday, November 16, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Hackettstown State Fish Hatchery
Deadline to apply November 2, 2025.
