If so what kind and where to purchase..........thanks. These are the areas that beret asked about. These are the areas that I am talking about. I have no knowledge of any other town in the world, when it concerns this. Every town mentioned requires a badge, yes all year Sudsy, we're not talking about ocean bathing beaches . Buy it or take your chance, I don't care. I live here and know what gets enforced and who does what. Any other town has no bearing, and if you've lived in Jersey for more than a year you should know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten bucks a pop per year, and no, I don't get a resident break. That's what they cost. Oh yeah, $25.00 for day boat ramp. $10.00 for a year parking permit.

wasy Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) No bathing beach, no life guards year round in Island Heights. If you go fish in their boardwalk or pier you must have a beach badge. they use the locals to enforce and just as a matter of convenience the local inforcer has badges to sell you on the spot. never have I seen a ticket issued. never have I bought a badge, enforcement has bent strong the last few years Edited March 8, 2020 by wasy Kill em and Grill em!

As far as I know Island Heights is 24/7 and I don't think swimming is permitted. Veterans are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseystriper Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Wow, this is unbelievable but so jersey believable. A town license to crab and snapper fish? I hope no Monmouth county towns get this idea. I’d go broke paying red bank/fair haven/Rumson/Middletown/sea bright/Monmouth beach/ocean port/ little silver. Incredible.

In Island Heights it was never enforced until it became an over run chit hole with the garbage. It’s a wide mixture of fishermen and locals strolling the boards but as usual we are our own worst enemy Kill em and Grill em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40shades-of-blue Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) I kind of want to go fish there now and see what happens. If true it sounds like the typical NJ BS money grab or lets create a permit to keep out "undesirables" nonsense. I see nothing listed on the towns website.

Sudsy Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 If this is 365 24/7 targeted at fishermen then it's effectively a backdoor fishing license. This is something we should fight at the state level and very possibly beat. Exactly which towns are doing this ?

It's targeted at (at least in Pine Beach and Ocean Gate ) anyone using their piers or beaches. It's ben this way all my life.

Theres also a park in town with signs saying it closes in the evening. I sent you pics of the sign. They also have picnic benches but the sign says no picnics. IH doesn't want us in their town. Anyone questioning if the badge requirement is true I assure you it is fact and will be enforced. I worked at the local shop nearby and the enforcement officer came in once and read me the riot act saying I was sending customers to IH and told em they didnt need badges. Which was absolutely not true but I mention to stress how serious they take this matter. "I was a waste of time dumbasses" Sevenxseventy1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKjeep84 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Last year it was a $20 permit. They do check. The guy that I talked to was cool you can pay it when they come around or go to the township. I told him I wasn't paying to fish the bay/river and went to another spot.

Dumprdog Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I don't know of any town cops patrolling beaches looking for fishermen to hassle. Not saying they won't but I've not seen it. I live in Mays Landing and have fished all of the beaches from Cape May to LBI and am only bothered after Memorial Day and then only when the lifeguards are present. Circumstances may be different in other areas and it would not surprise me, every town seems to want more money and will think of some creative ways to dislodge it from us. The beach tags were explained this way to me by a guard: You shouldn't be harassed before Memorial Day since the beaches are not guarded, after that day and until Labor Day if you are on a guarded beach or even a jetty near one you will need a badge to be there but only when the beach is guarded. After the lifeguards go home everything is open until they come back the next day. This was explained to me a few years ago and in that time frame things may have changed but if they have the authorities don't bother me. such a shame to think that a guy fishing on a beach or jetty should have to pay for the privilege of fishing when joggers, walkers, and their dogs can enjoy the beach at no cost. Then again, it is New Jersey. Get ready for the saltwater license, it's coming, only a matter of time. 17 hours ago, Sudsy said: I need some clarification on this Is this 24/7 - 365 or just during the day during the season when lifeguards are present ?
