You are listening to Hookin’ a Big One with your host(s) Harrison Mylowe.

In this episode of Hookin’ a Big One we discuss: How to Properly do recreational saltwater fishing in the state of New Jersey

• register with the Saltwater Recreational Registry Program (free),
• obtain a fishing license if you plan to harvest shellfish or use crab pots,
• understand current size and bag limits for your target species, and
• gather the appropriate gear, including a suitable rod, reel, line, hooks, and bait or artificial lures.
• Call a local tackle show and ask what’s biting and what are they biting on
• Go to the tackle shop and get the necessary rigging
• Be careful putting the bait on the hook so you don’t get it stuck on your finger.

• Hold the rod to actively feel for bites
• Place it in a rod holder while you watch for signs of a fish.
• Put your finger on your line so you can feel if you have a “fish on”
• Watch the tip of your rod to see if it bends
• Watch the current to see if your rod gets washed up to shore if you are standing on land
