Recreational Offshore Landing Permit

The State has a new permit requirement for everybody planning to fish in Louisiana Saltwater. You will be required to obtain and carry with you a FREE permit if you intend to catch and keep any snapper except mangrove and any amberjack, Yellowfin tuna, and some of the groupers.

If you are chartering the captain will have a permit that will cover you. If you have your own boat than you and everybody on your boat age 16 and above will also have to have their own individule permit.

It can be obtained by going to www.wlf.la.gov/rolp Smart phone app for iphones can be found by searching for Louisiana Recreational Offshore Landing Permit in the itunes store and for android phones by searching for LDWF Rec. Offshore Landing App in Google play store.

Once again the Recreational Offshore Landing Permit (ROLP) Is FREE and is required for everyone fishing for and possessing all snappers except mangrove as well as billfish, swordfish, amberjacks, groupers, and Yellowfin tuna. Each private recreational angler must have their own permit.

ONLY Yellowfin tuna have to be reported with the following information; Date taken, Time, Trip type ( Private or charter), block caught, curved fork length in inches, your ROLP number, and your vessel federal tuna angling permit number.

I'm guessing the LDWF is trying to get some solid facts on the rec. reef fish harvested with this. I would imagine that the actual number is drastically lower then the guess that GOMFMC comes up with.
