I recently got an email for renewel. They were doing something with their website and they would get back to me when it was complete. I haven't heard anything.
At this time I am just interested in the rec permit mainly for the half doz times a year I try for tuna.
Re:Blue Marlin in the fish market...I have seen this as well
. I bet it is a by-catch of some kind, the blue marlin is a game fish and there should not be a comm market for it.
That said I had some smoked once it it ain't half bad. But you would never see me keep one unless to hang on my wall and even then it would have to be something really special.
I think this rec lic thing is a ripoff. No way can they enforce this.
