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.

I think in the past fisherman were much less saavy regarding inshore sBFT. (spot burning and the Internet?) Those who needed to know, knew.

It's definitely time they updated that website.
