When it comes to monkfish, there is a minimum size. For example, the tail must be 11 inches long, or the entire fish must be 17 inches long. You’ll note that sentence contains the word “or” and not the word “and.” “DAS,” (“Days-At-Sea”) is important when it comes to monkfish, as limited access monkfish vessels are allocated 45.2 monkfish “Days at Sea” every fishing year. Should you have a permit, you can “carry-over” as many as four unused monkfish days at sea from the previous year. We understand that plenty of this can be confusing, which is why our professionals are always glad to answer any questions you may have.
