YES! yellowfin too! In fact nearly all tuna. The only "tuna" that is exempt from the permit is the bonito. Everything else requires this permit as far as I know.
I got mine (via on line...you can print out your own licence) for 22 bucks on the spot. The reason I got mine is that I know if I didn't I would sure as heck run into the yellowfin this summer and would be pissed that I did not spend the 22 bucks to get the permit to fish for them.
Frankly I am against this permit. The money does nothing. The 22 bucks goes to covering the cost of the permits only...nothing goes to the fishery...so what is the point? Sounds like big government for the sole purpose of bigger government. They will get some data out of it but it I think this is a good example of how fisheries management is failing. But I coughed up the 22 bucks...small potatos compared to all my other recent boating expenses.
You buy one for the boat
