    You are required by law to state your current residence on the 4473. You must show a Government issued ID that has your photo, DOB, and your current address to the dealer, or a combination of those documents. A current driver's license satisfies all those requirements. A FPID with a prior address is still valid and it has been stated many times on this forum. The NJSP FIU have also stated this. It only becomes invalid if you become a prohibited person. Your SBI number on the FPID will be used for the background check. Of course, if you want to acquire handguns, you must go to the new PD and apply. Your FPID will then have to be updated.

    Dealers that require the documents to match, is that a store policy?

    Are these incandescent or LED?

    Are the lights wired in series or parallel?

    Have a multimeter? Check voltage at the socket and then pull the first bulb in the string and check there. It's two wires. If there is electricity, there should be light.

    I know this sounds dumb, but might try turning the breaker off and on again since some don't flag well when they trip.

    You beat me to it...

    The Shark River Inlet is a great dive, especially if you can catch the right tide at night and during late summer - I've seen tropical fish when the warmer water is up here. If I recall correctly it is best do do the dive during slack tide before low tide. The reason being, it is better to get pulled out into the ocean, swim parallel to shore, then back up onto the beach. If you get sucked into the inlet not sure how you are getting out.

     

    If you go with someone who has done it a few times you will have no problem.

     

    As for fishermen.. yeah some will cast at you on purpose. That is why you carry a good pair of safety scissors and a knife. The knife is for if they get angry when you try to sell their lead back to them later, lol. 

     

    Like was stated earlier, this is not a lobster dive. You may find some crabs but I've never seen a lobster there. 

     

    Edit: When I say tropical that just means fish that look tropical to me, I'm by no means a fish identification expert! The only fish I can identify for sure is a tautog because I like to spear them.

    Some people just suck, lol. Love the togs myself. Speared many on the Dykes wreck. Thanks again.

    Been a long day fellas & just got home. I really appreciate everyone's input & advice. I will defiantly look into the local shops. It appears that a lot has changed since my Father In Law has snorkeled the inlet & jetties. I believe the last time he did was in the early 90's & he swears it was rock lobster heaven. Either way, the family is looking forward to a day of sunshine, fishing, swimming, & fun. I will bring my gear & take into account the conditions. I could care less if there are lobsters to catch or fish to spear. I just enjoy being beneath the sea. I'll dive a puddle if that's all I had

    Hey HB,

     

    Thanks for the link. I did a ton of research on shore diving. I want to abide by all the regs & follow the rules. It's or job of course. I want to keep teaching my daughter the proper ethics in all the hobbies we are involved with. I dove the Gypsy many times. Great crew & boat. I dove the Mexican Cenotes 2 years ago. It was an amazing experience.

    Hey Wikkie,

     

    I appreciate the heads up on the fisherman. That's very unethical. We all have our hobbies & should respect one another. As I mentioned, I will not be in the inlet but out on the North Side L jetty. I will of course have all the safety gear. I will be diving during high tide into slack so the currents should not be an issue. I agree with you canceling the dive with your pregnant wife, congrats by the way. As you mentioned, not enough research. You can always check with DAN "Divers Alert Network". They are great at keeping up with the latest medical information. I mentioned it to my Father In Law as well. I think I put a spark in his a** because he is digging out his snorkel gear

    Hey All,

     

    As the title states. When I dive the Jersey waters, I mostly dive wrecks. My Father In Law mentioned that he used to snorkel the Shark River Inlet for rock lobsters & fluke. I looked into the regulations and they have changed a lot since he last snorkeled. The regulations now state no diving the inlet May-October between 8AM-5:30PM. I want to plan a shore weekend with the family for swimming & fishing the jetty. I would like to get in a shore dive or two & hopefully grab some lobsters or spear some fish, that are in season of course. We will be on the North Avon side. There is an L-Shape jetty there. It is technically out of the inlet so I don't see the inlet regulation applying. Wanted to know anyone's experience in that specific location, whether it's surf fishing, snorkeling, or diving. I have attached a photo of the inlet, hopefully it's viewable. Thanks to all for any information & for reading.
