The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is advising freshwater anglers that a closure of the river herring (alewife and blueback) fishery is currently in effect for the marine waters of the State and a closure of the freshwater migratory herring fishery is expected to be in place by mid-February. The freshwater fishery closure will not include landlocked herring populations.

The Division will issue a public notification when the freshwater closure is approved, which will include details regarding the freshwater take and possession of herring in New Jersey.

More information on the herring closure, as well as changes in regulations pertaining to tautog, can be found at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/news/2012/herring-tog_regchange.htm on the division's website.

From Bakers Marina Group, we hope you find this information informative and useful.
