Sandman,

That brings up yet another question. I'd say as long as you are on YOUR charter boat whether it is a charter or not you'd be all set. This is where you run into the OPINION of the enforcing officer.

For instance, Tuna HMS wise I am in the charter/headboat catagory so I can either fish Giants or recreational. I don't charter....yet....but I have a license.....I am on my own private charter..... When charter guys go tuna fishing/hms for fun and it is not a charter they are covered both ways.

The only requirement for that license was that a licensed captain be onboard. Said nothing about whether it is a for hire trip.

Wonder how this new state license will be interpreted.
