New York has a regulatory monitoring body that guides the recreational fishing industry. They enlisted the types of fish and the policies in handling them including the limits per season. They even have published the general regulations on the take and possession of fish, the types which are threatened and endangered, foul hooking, the use of gaffs, and many more topics.

In 2019 alone are four dates for open fishing without license. It begun in February, then later continues in June, September and November months which are mostly in times of commemorative days. This was started purposely to lure prospect hobbyists to get interested into this sport. Free clinics are offered to people for education in fish identification, equipment and techniques, angling ethics, aquatic ecology and fisheries management.

When prospects are getting warmed up, they would have no option but to get registered and licensed.

But other than that, something to be proud of in paying for the fees is that these are used for the preservation of water bodies.

Fishing without license is also allowed as the state conducts free fishing days for more than once a year. Like in 2019, four events have been scheduled which are on February, June, September and November as some of these dates commemorates special occasions. The free days started in 1991 in order to encourage beginners and hobbyists to go full time in this sport.

Anglers who are 16 years and above are the ones required to get a license for fishing freshwater fish species and baitfish, and frogs, either by catching using the hands or equipment. For catches like the migratory and saltwater fish species, the angler needs to sign up the marine fishing registration. Not all anglers, though, are required a license if they qualify for the mandated terms.

What's good with catching striped bass is that it is done almost the whole year round except two winter months. The fish has large mouth that can be easily hooked. The permitted locations are the picturesque Delaware River and West Branch Delaware River.
