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.

Buried in the library.....unbelieveable.....took me 15 minutes to find it and the search feature doesn't get you there cuz it's all buried in a PDF.

Too bad they make it so difficult to understand and follow the rules.

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.

Searched for BFT from Boston outer all the way to the NW corner yesterday, only saw whales. WE trolled for 3 hours on and around the bank and only got a few blues. Saw some BIG bass too, but of course we didn't fish for them !!


I guess we just wait for them to come back or come in closer.

Van,

At least it was a nice day out there!

Get the low down on the general vicinity were they are before heading way out. I think the offshore guys are not that worried about spot buring. Its a big ocean and gas it 3 bucks/gal. Info is being shared among offshore guys. Most guys will not run to a far off spot blind.

I can understand the inshore protection but not offshore
