Fishing Season
Opens May 70

An enactment Of the last legislature
restored the pike, piekerel and pike
perch season to its former dates, May
20 to Nov. 80. The 20-day season for
these fish during January also was
revived. The law had been changed
last year, to postpone the pike and
pickerel fishing to the opening Of the
bass season in June.
New Jersey laws are liberal in that
they put no daily bag limit on the
pickerel during the main season, but
sportsmen have their own unwritten
law that no angler should take more
fish than he can use. The law pro
tects the infants Of this piscatorial
family and they must be foot long
before they are retained. 1t is also
rule of sportsmrnt to handle only
with wet hand, so as not to bruise the
scales undersize fish of all species, that
are to be returned to the water.
