Safety Gear:

Safety Gear is an important part of any fishing, but fisherman who wish to sell their fish must abide by laws relating to commercial fishing vessels.  These laws are very complicated, and our staff can help you determine what gear you need to be in compliance.  The type of gear generally depends on the boat, where you are fishing, and other variables.  The rules are found specifically in 46 CFR Part 28 which regulates the Commerical Fishing Safety Act of 1988.

Here is a link to the official information brochure put out by the US Coast Guard which describes basic requirements and how to get inspected. Getting inspected can save you valuable fishing time, because it means you are less likely to get boarded while fishing and saves you the fines and headaches of being out of compliance.
