Basic Rules:

Fish must be caught from the shores of Long Beach Island only—ocean, inlet, bay, and jetties. No boat fishing permitted.

Contestants may not use more than two rods at any time.

From the time that a fish strikes or takes a bait or lure, only the angler may handle the rod, reel and/or line.

Minimum length for bass is 34 inches. Each angler may enter two striped bass each tournament day.

All fish entered must comply with NJ and federal regulations

You don't need a big expensive boat for productive saltwater fishing. Surf fishing is the sport of catching fish standing on the shoreline or wading in the surf. The term surf fishing refers to all types of shore fishing - from sandy and rocky beaches, rock jetties, or even fishing piers. The terms surfcasting or beachcasting refer more specifically to surf fishing from the beach by casting into the surf at or near the shoreline. With few exceptions, surf fishing is done in saltwater.
