With the heavy interest in NJ back bay fishing this Spring, I had an encounter this week that was won, in part because of my knowledge of the Public Trust Doctrine. If you want to know your rights, feel free to C&P that doctrine and carry it with you....or keep the link to this thread on your phone.

Also know that Riparian rights are separate and distinct from Public Trust Access. If this is something you are not sure about, please take a look at this thread and other threads in this section discussing Riparian rights.

This is another link posted by njdiver that could be helpful as well;

Above all, please be respectful and courteous if you do get hassled for fishing somewhere...we are all ambassadors of our sport. Negative behavior by one, reflects poorly on us all. Thanks.
