Is it possible to get a permit to collect fish from the ocean?

Is it possible to get a permit to collect fish from the ocean?

Depends. Where and what.

Many state recreational fishing licenses allow collection of certain species under collection limits. For PERSONAL use only.

The permit I want is to collect fish from tidepools.

You’d have to look at your local laws. Here in Florida we can collect quite a few of our fish off the beach here

It’s illegal here, thats why I asked how or if i can get a permit

 

[Nick Steele]

Best bet then would be to contact your local fish and game office to see about permits then.

Curious what type of fish you are trying to collect?

Don't know if you've ever tried but the prettier the fish the more nearly impossible it is to catch, even with a 6ft round casting net.

Tropical fish ain't no fools.

Tangs have already hauled butt out the area when the net hits the top of the waterline

I would venture to say in Indonesia they catch exotic tropical fish with large chicken wired fish traps with food inside them

Good find. Snorkel time!

Good find. Snorkel time!

Does this mean I can snorkel in 3 feet deep and take snails and crabs and such?

As long as it’s lower than the low tide mark yes

 

[The Masked Shadow]

As long as it’s lower than the low tide mark yes

How do I know the low tide mark? And also, I can collect anything under the low tide mark using a net?

Check a tide chart and go at low tide. Anything submerged at that time should be good from my understanding however low tide changes daily so I would go another 2-4 ft deep to be safe
