Free Fishing Day Is Saturday June 4


 

Haven't fished in a while, or maybe never fished? Have a friend or family member who hasn't either? Saturday is Free Fishing Day, the perfect time for New Jersey residents to try fishing the state's public waters without a license or trout stamp. All other regulations including size and daily catch limits remain in effect. 

After discovering or rediscovering the joys of fishing you and the others will need a license - so why not get Buddy Licenses together? These heavily discounted licenses go easy on your budget and let you enjoy all the fishing New Jersey offers, from small ponds to major rivers, from panfish to trophy muskellunge.

The June Free Fishing Day is held in conjunction with National Fishing and Boating Week. (The October 22 date allows the public to take advantage of the fall trout stocking.) 

New Jersey’s two Free Fishing Days are a no-risk investment for an introduction to freshwater fishing in the Garden State and the perfect time for families to enjoy two days of outdoor fun for free. Though youngsters under the age of 16 don’t need a license, these days provide a special benefit to adults who can join in the fun without having to purchase a license. That is until they get hooked on a sport that just might become a lifetime of fun for the whole family.
