This has probably been assked before but does anyone know if you need to register if you go on a charter boat?

If the charter boat is licensed by the state or feds you do not have to register. you will be covered under the licensed vessel's registry.

Beginning January 1, 2010, New Jersey fishermen must register if they:

    * Fish for or catch anadromous species in tidal and salt waters; these are fish like river herring, shad or striped bass that live in the oceans but spawn in fresh water, OR

    * Fish in the Federal waters more than three miles from the ocean shore or from the mouths of rivers or bays, OR

    * Don't meet any of the exceptions in the law.

Those exceptions include anglers who…

    * ...are under the age of 16.

    * ...have a currently valid saltwater license from another state whose license meets the criteria of the Angler Registry.

    * ...already registered with NOAA in 2010 to fish saltwater in another state.

    * ...only fish on vessels that are holders of for-hire (or charter boat and party boat) permits issued by NOAA Fisheries.

    * ...hold a Highly Migratory Species Angling permit.

    * ...are fishing commercially under a valid license.

Thanks. I'm going on a charter next weekend with some friends who don't fish much and I wasn't sure.

When in doubt fill it out.

Right now it does not cost a thing and can be done online.  fill out the simple form and once you submit it you can make a copy of the registration card and that is just as good as the real thing which should come in a couple of weeks.

You can gain access to the registration from out home page as well.  Look under our logo on the left of the page.

Happy Catching
