Reminder: If you own or operate a private recreational vessel and target blueline or golden tilefish from Virginia northward, you must have a private recreational tilefish permit and submit a trip report within 24 hours of completing a trip (even if HMS species were also targeted). These requirements extend to for-hire or commercial vessels when fishing in a private recreational capacity.
Recreational Tilefish Permit
- Visit the NOAA Fisheries’ Fish Online website to apply for a permit.
Trip Reports
- Use the eFin Logbook or any approved reporting application to report tilefish.
- Submit key information after each trip such as:
- Number of anglers
- Time spent fishing
- Number of tilefish kept/discarded
Submit reports within 24 hours of returning from any trip on which tilefish were targeted, even if none were caught or kept.
Visit the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council’s Recreational Tilefish Permitting and Reporting page to learn more.
