For example, this allows you to fish there for all different kinds of Grouper: Red, Snowy, Yellowfin, Gag, and more. Additionally, you can fish for multiple kinds of snapper, tilefish, as well as Speckled Hind, Gray Triggerfish, Banded Rudderfish, Greater Amberjack, and of course, Wreckfish.

With a RR/Reef Fish permit, you’ll be able to fish for many of the above species as well as others such as Scamp, Hogfish, and plenty of others. One thing we always want to highlight to potential clients: when these forms have to be renewed. While it makes sense that they would all have similar deadlines, they don’t. For example, this form has to be renewed on the last day of the permit holder’s birth month. Our staff is always happy to answer any questions you might have. 

 

Dealer Permits, Too 

 

Dealers have plenty of opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico as well. The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Dealer Fishing  (Open Access) permit, for one, empowers dealers and buyers with many of the species mentioned above. It also includes others like  Atlantic Mahi Mahi, Coney, Cobia, Cottonwick, Saucereye Porgy, Schoolmaster, and plenty of others. Another benefit to this permit: management areas are expanded beyond the Gulf of Mexico to New England and the Mid-Atlantic.
