Gulf of Mexico Federal Commercial Fishing Regulations and Other Details

Have you been on the lookout for a better way to handle all of your Gulf of Mexico federal commercial fishing permits and licenses? Are you in the process of determining whether or not to expand your commercial fishing operation into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico? It’s difficult to overstate just how much fishing opportunity there is in the Gulf of Mexico. Indeed, many studies have shown that about 20% of all fish caught in the United States are caught in the Gulf of Mexico (this includes both sport and commercial fishing operations). We can help in many ways. 

Keeping in Mind When There are Commercial Closures 

While there’s plenty of commercial fishing opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico, you need to be aware of when you can’t fish for certain species. For example, Gray Triggerfish cannot be fished during the summer days of June 1st through July 31st, while the Greater Amberjack can’t be fished in the spring from March 1st through May 31st. Fishing in some areas through some methods is even prohibited, such as how gillnet fishing for King Mackerel isn’t permitted from July 1st through Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Commercial Fishing Permits for North, West, and East of the Gulf of Mexico 

The Gulf of Mexico very well may hold ⅕ of all fish landed in the United States. While that’s a lot of opportunities, it certainly leaves open plenty of other opportunities in areas as far-flung from the Gulf of Mexico as Alaska, New England, the Pacific Islands, the West Coast, and elsewhere. Through the use of our site, you’ll be able to fish for all of those regions, as well.
