I'm getting ready to walk put the door to get mine,i will find out WUP..

I guess that meens you need one to fish in the NY side of the Raritan Bay also. I hope we don't need one for the fling...

OK HOW THE #@$%!^ CAN THEY CHARGE FULL PRICE FOR A 3 MONTH LICENSE ... THE license expires on the calander date of the year ... i have a ct. saltwater license i think covers me not sure...
it also says note pending legislation ... they did that in ct. they sold licenses before it was law

So how does this work?

We let NYers fish in NJ waters without a license.

Are there any reciprocal license agreements with other states where marine waters form boundaries with other states?
Yes, in certain waters, if a state grants New York recreational marine fishing license holders fishing privileges in that state's portion of the boundary water(s), then New York grants appropriately licensed anglers from that state the privilege to fish in the New York portion of the boundary water(s) without securing a New York recreational marine fishing license:

Connecticut: those parts of Long Island Sound lying between New York and Connecticut
New Jersey: those parts of New York Harbor, Hudson River, Kill Van Kull, Arthur Kill, Raritan Bay, and Atlantic Ocean lying between New Jersey and New York, and
Rhode Island: those parts of Long Island Sound, Block Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean lying between Rhode Island and New York

OK HERE is WHAT THE TOWN CLERK GAVE ME WITH MY PERMIT..

I really dont think it will be a real issue this year,as in really cracking down big time.time will only tell... affraid

cool :) i'll probably still dish out the extra 10 beans...

It's not a big deal till you catch a big fish and go to weigh it in at a touney.... Sorry to be pesamistic but when government gets involved its the citizens getting screwed.

im going for the 15 dollar one if it isnt because you know if you buy the 7 day for some off the wall reason you will be fishing ny one more time

just realized yeah i fish the SI from time to time.. might as well get the annual one.. good heads up thanks

If its anything like NJ you can buy it online and print out a couple copies of the license yourself.
