Every time a coastal fishing license is sold in North Carolina, a portion of the money is supposed to help improve fishing on the coast, but some recreational anglers say the state is reeling in some of that revenue for other purposes.

A little fishin' humor;

One day, two buddies, Jeff and Kenny, were out fishing when funeral procession passes by. Jeff takes off his hat and puts it over his heart until the funeral service passes by.

Kenny says, “Hey, Jeffy, I didn’t know you had it in you!”

Jeff replies sadly, “It’s the least I could do. After all, I was married to her for 25
years.

Marine Fisheries Commission accepting public comment on two proposed rule changes

North Carolina Marine Fisheries

Unhappy wirh DMF rules and the direction our fisheries are heading? Here is your chance to let your voice be heard. Attend ths meeting and let your objections be heard.

Proposed Rule Changes

The proposed rules would:

·         Amend 15A NCAC 03M .0509 to prohibit possession of tarpon and make it illegal to gaff, spear, or puncture tarpon by any method other than hook and line.

·         Modify 15A NCAC 03O .0108 to clarify the circumstances under which transfers of Standard Commercial Fishing Licenses are allowed, including the following:

1. Add grandparents, grandchildren, and legal guardians to the list of immediate family members eligible to receive a transferred license.
2. Codify the existing requirement of a certification statement from the transferee that affirms the information provided to the division is true and accurate.
3. Allow an individual license holder to transfer the license to a business in which the license holder is also an owner.
4. Allow a business that is dissolved to transfer a license to an individual owner of the business.
5. Allow a business that is sold to transfer a license to the successor business at the time of sale.
6. Allow a business to transfer a license back to an owner who is leaving the business, if the owner originally held the license as an individual.
7. Restrict business transfers to corporations and limited liability companies.
8. Define “owner” to include shareholder of a corporation and member of a limited liability company.

The proposed rule changes come at the request of the Marine Fisheries Commission, which voted in February 2018 to start the process of amending the tarpon rule to improve the survivability of the fish and has, over the past couple of years, expressed concern about the types of license transfers allowed by statute and rule.

Modification of the two rules also meets a state-mandated periodic review schedule under which state agencies must review existing rules at least once every 10 years.

The proposed effective date of the rules is subject to legislative review.

For specific wording of the rule changes, go to the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission’s Proposed Rules Page.
