MM thanks!!

I finally found this:
http://www.nmfspermits.com/other/2005RegBroc071205.pdf

but the regs on bluefin and other tunas are buried on this site. I can't see how this can be enforced? I never get emails from the about changes only when the permit expires.

I bet 90% of the rec fishermen out there do not have permits and don't have any idea what the retention limits are.

I think they need a "CURRENT REGULATIONS" page for REC, Head boat and comm catagories that clearly specifiy what the limits are for each species.

For 22 bucks they should at least TELL me what I can fish for.
