Regulation Notices

The Delaware River is a boundary water shared by Pennsylvania and New Jersey with each state*s border generally following the centerline of the river. Although the majority of the fishing regulations enacted by both states are identical, there are some distinct differences. Anglers fishing this river must be aware of each state*s fishing regulations.

Regardless of an angler*s residency or point of boat launching, all are required to comply with the regulations of the state in which they are fishing. An angler fishing*or in possession of fish*between the centerline of the river and the New Jersey shoreline must comply with the New Jersey fishing regulations. An angler fishing*or in possession of fish*between the centerline of the river and the Pennsylvania shoreline must comply with the Pennsylvania fishing regulations.

The reciprocal agreement regarding fishing licenses remains in effect and anglers may continue to fish from shoreline to shoreline in the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey using either state*s fishing license. Information on each state*s fishing regulations can be found at www.fishandboat.com and NJFishandWildlife.com. It is incumbent upon anglers to determine in which state they are currently fishing, taking into account that in areas where the river splits, such as around islands, the boundary is clearly and legally defined to one side of the island or another

Just be advised do not eat any of the fish from the nj side of the river.

Man, what a Debbie Downer. But...since we're on the subject...I was going to ask, "Why?" That is, unless you're talking way up north.

You can fish from the NJ side but then you have to swim across the Delaware to drop off your fish.

Because nj fish are Democrats, silly.
If you eat them, you*ll catch something.

All the fish on the NJ side smell like Snooki.

thank youse guys for the the responses, I'm planing to go to a old fishing spot on racoon island in south NJ. main reason for asking is im very close to the Delaware NJ border and Delaware owns the whole river and a requires a Delaware license. so from what i read from youes as long as I'm above the Pa NJ line I'm good

Watch out for those dreaded NJ whitefish.
