Rec Is only one fish, from 27-73.
charter headboat can take two fish. One 27-47 & one 47-73

The southern trophy area ends at great egg inlet NJ and they can take it away for everyone come June 1st like last year

Also this year you will be required to place a carcass tag on every dead bluefin in order to report it. No carcass tag-means Its not a legal fish. Most likely you will get 5 tags at any local bait shop and when you report those 5 tags, you will get more.
if this system doesnt work, the next drastic step will require you to bring all dead tuna to a tagging station similar to deer.
All of these fish need to be reported. If you don't report them they just give the quota to somebody else.
