NJ DEP and Beach Access for Anglers

NJ DEP has promised to rewrite state guidelines to guarantee after-hours beach access after anglers expressed concerns that local municipalities were being granted too much latitude to limit fishing along the Jersey shore. Complaints of heavy enforcement at Cliffwood Beach are mentioned in an Associated Press article that appeared in APP and Philly Inquirer. Rule changes are being drafted at Trenton and should be in effect by Memorial Day 2012.
