An interesting post I found:

According to the verbiage in 600.1410 Subpart P-Marine Recreational Fisheries of the United States under the Registry process 600.1410 section, number (d), starting on page 79,718 it states: "NMFS will issue a registration number and certificate to registrants. A registration number and certificate will be valid for one year from the date on which it was issued."

50 CFR 600 Marine Recreational Fisheries of the United States

Due to the registration process as defined by the National Marine Fisheries Service New Jersey anglers can register on December 31, 2010 and not pay a fee associated with the Federal Angler Registry for 2011 up to December 30, 2011. I am sure many anglers will take advantage of this loophole in the registration process in the event that New Jersey does not pass legislation for a free or nominal fee registry in 2010.

What about someone who stands on the jetty and fishes in the surf?  Would he need to register?

[Noworries2009]

According to the way I understand this "yes " If you target stripers in the surf or anywhere You need to register. If you fish only on party/charter boats that are already in the program , They will take care of it thru boat permits which include all paying customers. THis may or may not cause the rates to go up  The program has been in place for 2010 and there are lots of opinions about this and that. To be continued.........

Just got done emailing all the Committee members, as well as my Local Senator

[Quadruplecccc]

So I'm registered with the NOAA. Does NJ. have its own registery or not? Please clarify, thanx.

[IrishAyes]

As of now, no. NJ does not have a registry. It is waiting on the tyrant's governor's desk for his signiture. If you want to fish right now you have to register with the feds and that will cost $15.

[Fishin Dude]

Okay, if a magic wand was waved over Trenton, and the governor signed the bill today, wouldn't NJ then have to get some type of waiver from the Feds because we did not have this in place by the mandated deadline of 12/31/2010?

I'm still unclear about this, if I'm fishing for striper from a pier,surf, or jetty and not on a party boat. Do I have to register and pay $ 15.00 for 2011? Or did I miss something? I registered last year when it was free nobody sent me a survey or questionaire asking what I caught. What kind of BS is this?

[paul-e]

Good question Buggy.
So am I (confused).
Almost all of my salt water fishing is on charters and PBs. so wasn't concerned.
I did register before 12/31/10 for free.
Last year I did not.

Do you need to have registration to wet a line in any salt in NJ or just the federal 3 miles out?

Was I fishing illegal at the PP Canal this past summer without the registration?

[bugmannj]

I dunno, both Paul-e and I have questions about this can someone give us an anwser? Do I have to register and pay or not?

[IrishAyes]

If you are fishing for stripers, yes.

[Fishin Dude]

My suggestion:

Register

My Reasoning:

If you catch a record breaking fish
or

If you catch a tournament winning fish
or

If you win the "Dream Boat Challenge"

If you are NOT REGISTERED , someone will make an issue about your "ILLEAGLE CATCH" and you will be S.O.L , all over 15 bucks.    <'((((><

[paul-e]

OK sooooooo this is only for stripers, and we can fish in any salt for anything else.
Beach, piers, etc.
