If you are fishing with Eddie or any one of us captains on a charter trip We have the permits required and will do the reporting.
If you are on a private boat you have to have the federal tuna permit for the boat as usual. This is a new thing the state is doing that requires each person over 16 on a private boat to have as well as the federal permit. The Recreational Offshore Landing Permit (ROLP) number will be assigned to you when you get the recreational angler landing permit. It will be on the FREE permit.
If you are on a private boat you are required to report the tuna prior to taking the tuna off the boat.
I am fishing with Eddie Friday. I may be with you on the 9th if he needs me. Depends on what he is fishing for and if I am open that day.
Chip This is for all who fish for snapper including lane, vermilion, and red. Actually the ONLY snapper that is exempt from the permit is mangrove. Don't ask me why!
Hope this helped. Thanks for questioning. At least I was able to get the word out to some of you.
