As part of the "If You Can't Keep It, Save It" campaign, the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife, in coordination with Eagle Claw and the American Sportfishing Association, is making 20,000 free hooks available to anglers fishing for summer flounder. The list of bait and tackle shops distributing the hooks is available here:
