Explore the Possibilities with Gulf of Mexico Commercial Fishing Permits
Are you on the hunt for a fishing ground teeming with a diverse array of fish species? Or, do you already have a Gulf of Mexico commercial fishing operation and are looking to simplify the permit process? For many years, the Commercial Fishing Permits Center has been a steadfast partner to commercial fishing experts, enabling them to fish how they want in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere. Now, we can put that experience to work for you. On our platform, you can discover a selection of Gulf of Mexico Federal Commercial Fishing Permits tailored to your specific needs.
The Gulf of Mexico Commercial Reef Fish Commercial Fishing Permit
If you possess Coast Guard documentation or valid state registration and have duly submitted an application for the Vessel EEZ, this permit can open up a new world of prospects in the Gulf of Mexico. With it, you gain access to a variety of Grouper species, including Red, Gag, Yellowfin, Snowy, and more. Furthermore, you can cast your nets for various types of snapper and tilefish, as well as Speckled Hind, Greater Amberjack, Gray Triggerfish, Wreckfish, and Banded Rudderfish, among others. It’s essential to note that this endeavor necessitates the installation of a VMS (Vessel Monitoring System).
Essentials for Eastern Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Bottom Long Line Fishing
Equipped with an RR (Reef Fish) permit, you can partake in fishing activities targeting many of the aforementioned species, along with others such as Scamp, Hogfish, and numerous others. One noteworthy detail we wish to highlight: the renewal deadlines. They may seem like they’re all at the same time, but really, they aren’t. For example, in the case of this permit, renewal is mandated on the last day of the permit holder’s birth month. If you have any questions about how, how it affects your business, or something similar, our dedicated staff can address any inquiries you may have.
Dealer Permits for Expansive Opportunities
Dealers, too, have real opportunity in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Dealer Fishing (Open Access) permit bestows dealers and buyers with access to a multitude of species, including those mentioned previously and additional varieties like Atlantic Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Cottonwick, Saucereye Porgy, Coney, Schoolmaster, and many more. Another significant advantage of this permit is how it extends to areas beyond the Gulf of Mexico, such as the New England and the Mid-Atlantic regions.
More Than Just Gulf of Mexico Federal Commercial Fishing Permits
Speaking of expanding horizons beyond the Gulf of Mexico, that is precisely what kinds of permits and licenses we offer —an extensive array of permits, licenses, and more designed to facilitate fishing opportunities spanning the entire United States.
Whether your pursuits take you to the Gulf of Mexico, the New England coastlines, the distant reaches of the Pacific Islands, or the open waters of the West Coast, you can find the permits you need right here. Moreover, we streamline the application process, ensuring that you receive the necessary forms promptly when you need them. To learn more, click here. Safe travels.

South Florida Weekend
Met up with George again in Sebring on Friday evening to look for Brown Hoplo in nearby Charlie Creek to the west of Avon Park. Headed out there about an hour before sunset and after a handful of sunfish I finally pulled in a nice size Tilapia. Very shortly afterwards I pulled in a few of his smaller brothers.
Charlie Creek Tilapia
Tumblr media
Since we were leaving early for Miami in the morning we headed back home and I will continue my hoplo hunt another time.
In the morning we left early and headed to a spot near the Miami airport where there are supposed to be Hornet Tilapia. However after an hour of fishing I had only caught one Peacock Bass and we had to hit the road for our next spot.
At our next location, the University of Miami, there was a target of Crested Goby for me and Striped Mojarra for George. I was able to quickly catch the Crested Goby after we arrived.
Species #242 Crested Goby (Lophogobius cyprinoides)
Tumblr media
George on the look out for mojarra
Tumblr media
We actually caught several mojarra, but none of the ones George was looking for. I should have paid more attention to the ones I caught because in hindsight they could have been tidewater or big eye. However, since I did not check the head these will just be called Silver Jenny.
Probably just a Silver Jenny Mojarra
Tumblr media
We left for our next spot outside Homestead near the dump where there were supposed to be Pike Killifish. When we got there I saw one pike, but it was more than 25 feet away under brush and I could not lure it out. I did manage to get a nice Jaguar and Black Acara at the spot though. My pike killi hunt will continue.
Nice Jaguar Cichlid
Tumblr media
Black Acara
Tumblr media
We had finally exhausted our Miami spots and we headed for our primary mission of Channel 5 to try and load up on Angelfish, Parrotfish, and any other species that showed themselves.
However, after a full half day of fishing the bridge, there were no new species caught at this location. Just the typical crowd.
Porkfish were all over the place
Tumblr media
Puddingwife
Tumblr media
Scrawled Cowfish
Tumblr media
At the end of the day we decided to adjust our schedule for the next day and decided to head farther down the keys to check out spots for Hairy Blenny and Goldspotted Killifish.
We got up early and headed west. The Hairy Blenny spot was a bust but we continued on to Cudjoe Key to look for Goldspotted Killifish. Immediately after we got to the location I could see schools of them, but they kept spooking off. After some time I managed to finally find a school that didn’t run and was able to pull in species #243 the Goldspotted Killifish (Floridichthys carpio).
Species #243 - Goldspotted Killifish (Floridichthys carpio)
Tumblr media
George quickly caught several as well and we headed back east to Chanel 5, which again was disappointing. However, on the way back we made one final stop near the Everglades and I was able to pull in species #244 the Yellow Belly Cichlid (Cichlasoma salvini).
Species #244 - Yellow Belly Cichlid (Cichlasoma salvini)
Tumblr media
I got three new species and George got one, so we counted the trip as a success! It was a cool experience to get to travel around with George and his help was much appreciated!
Miami Airport     1 Peacock Bass University of Miami     1 Crested Goby     2 Mojarra Homestead Dump      1 Jaguar Cichlid      1 Black Acara Channel 5       25 Porkfish       2 Sailor's Choice Grunt       11 White Grunt       3 Puddingwife       1 Sergeant Major       2 Mangrove Snapper       3 Bluestriped Grunt       2 Bermuda Chub       3 French Grunt       1 Scrawled Cowfish West Summerland Key       1 Schoolmaster Cudjoe Key       2 Goldspotted Killifish Channel 5      4 Porkfish      5 French Grunt      5 White Grunt      3 Puddingwife      1 Dusky Damsel      1 Sergeant Major      1 Yellow Tail Snapper Markham Park      2 Salvini Cichlid      1 Jewelfish

Gulf of Mexico Federal Commercial Fishing Permits to Fish for Many Species
Have you been searching for a region where there are so many different kinds of fish you could make a profit on? Are you looking for ways to take advantage of Gulf of Mexico fishing opportunities? Over the years, here at the Commercial Fishing Permits Center, we’ve helped so many commercial fishing professionals to do the kind of fishing they want (all while in compliance with the authorities) in the Gulf of Mexico. At our site, you can find all of the Gulf of Mexico federal commercial fishing permits you may need (and then some). The Gulf of Mexico Commercial Reef Fish Commercial Fishing Permit If you have Coast Guard documentation or valid state registration (as well as submit an application for the Vessel EEZ), then you can absolutely take advantage of some tremendous opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico with this permit. For example, this allows you to fish there for all different kinds of Grouper: Red, Snowy, Yellowfin, Gag, and more. Additionally, you can fish for multiple kinds of snapper, tilefish, as well as Speckled Hind, Gray Triggerfish, Banded Rudderfish, Greater Amberjack, and of course, Wreckfish. Something to keep in mind, however: A VMS/Vessel Monitoring System is required. What to Know for Eastern Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Bottom Long Line Fishing With a RR/Reef Fish permit, you’ll be able to fish for many of the above species as well as others such as Scamp, Hogfish, and plenty of others. One thing we always want to highlight to potential clients: when these forms have to be renewed. While it makes sense that they would all have similar deadlines, they don’t. For example, this form has to be renewed on the last day of the permit holder’s birth month. Our staff is always happy to answer any questions you might have. Dealer Permits, Too Dealers have plenty of opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico as well. The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Dealer Fishing  (Open Access) permit, for one, empowers dealers and buyers with many of the species mentioned above. It also includes others like  Atlantic Mahi Mahi, Coney, Cobia, Cottonwick, Saucereye Porgy, Schoolmaster, and plenty of others. Another benefit to this permit: management areas are expanded beyond the Gulf of Mexico to New England and the Mid-Atlantic. More Than Just Gulf of Mexico Federal Commercial Fishing Permits Speaking of “expanded beyond the Gulf of Mexico,” that’s exactly what we offer: many permits, licenses, and more, that can help you to take advantage of fishing opportunities all around the United States. Whether you’re in the Gulf of Mexico, off of the coasts of New England, far out in the Pacific Island region, or on the high seas of the West Coast, you’ll find the permits you need right here. Moreover, you’ll find an easier way to complete them and get the forms back when you need them. Should you have any questions, you can reach us at (866) 292-4204.
