YOu can't fish from shore for Bluefin tuna it has to be from a boat no matter if you have the permit or not is the way it has been explained to me. THomT
Albies and bluefin tuna are 2 different species if I am not mistaken......they are a category at the Vineyard Derby and I never heard of a permit being required....they are open to surf fishers and boaters alike.
NO permit needed for Bonito which I believe are in the Mackerel family and no permit is needed for false albacore which I believe is in the same family as BLUFISH of all things...
No you don't need a permit to fish for green bonito, but you do need a paermit to fish for oceanic bonito. You don't need a permit to fish for false albacore (Really Little tunny) but you do need a permit to fish for true Albacore.
Thats what I thought, and it was written as I quoted. I'm not trying to bash the Fisherman, just want to make sure I was clear on the requirements. Thanks
