Where can I find a map with the state lines on it? Since the regulations are different I would hate to violate them because I don't know exactally where the line is. I have a home port chart and the upgraded maps on my Lowrance and niether show me that line.

Just found out that the Reach is the line. Thanks anyway!

Isn't it based on where you launch from?

Eventually that is true, if you launch from ny then yes ny laws to govern your catch and visa versa. You can fish nj waters and keep fish as per nj laws but the moment you enter ny waters the catch becomes considered ny fish and now ny laws. Some day the two states can get their act together to make our life easier.

Seaclusion,

"the Reach is the line" is true, but keep in mind that the line veers E and essentially cuts Romer Shoal in half. If that helps.
