The online logbook is designed to replace the paper logbooks anglers mailed to NJDEP Fish and Wildlife’s Striped Bass Bonus Program at the end of each fishing season. This online process does not replace the need to complete your bonus permit harvest information when a permit is used, but is a way for you to provide your logbook data more quickly and easily.
