simple question...

TTesterman · 07-14-2009, 07:39 AM

I would like to know still what it takes to get a commercial swordfish permit for me to go catch some swords. I asked about this to a couple people on here and got no response at all. I know some people have paid dearly for their permits and I don't want them pissy about this but I think by my American right to have a permit I should get more answers. I have been fishing my whole life and I had and lost a kingfish permit once due to my boat truck and trailer getting wiped out on hwy 95 coming back home. that was a sucked out thing to deal with and the laws are not so great when it comes to being fair sometimes. I do ok just fishing but I think there should be some explanation on this. hope to get some response before the meeting but I will be there and still ask the same question. seems we set rules for ourselves and let everyone else do what they want. just want a permit to do it right that's all. thanks in advance for your responses. Ted

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can legally do that

Swordstalker you are dead wrong. Everybody knows that you can trade
swordfish for money legally. It is however illegal to sell it.
too funny...

I missed the orignal post so this might be to late... But here's the facts taken from the 635 regs.

(3) Swordfish. A person that receives, purchases, trades for, or barters for Atlantic swordfish from a fishing vessel of the United States, as defined under §600.10 of this chapter, must possess a valid dealer permit.
