NOTES:

  • A GAF permit authorizes a charter vessel angler to catch and retain GAF in the regulatory area listed on the permit during a charter vessel fishing trip authorized by the charter halibut permit that is assigned to the GAF permit.

  • A GAF permit and the assigned charter halibut permit must be carried on board the vessel used to harvest GAF at all times that GAF are on board and must be presented for inspection on request of any authorized officer.

  • A GAF permit and associated GAF permit logs must be retained and made available for inspection by an authorized enforcement officer for two years after the date of the fishing trip in which GAF were retained.

  • The number of GAF retained may not exceed the number of GAF in the GAF permit holder’s account at the time the fish are retained. GAF may not be retained by charter vessel anglers after the expiration date shown on the GAF permit. GAF account balances may be obtained online at http://putURLhere or by calling 1-800-304-4846.

  • The number of GAF authorized is the total number transferred for the year, as of the date the GAF permit was issued. During a year, no more than 400 GAF may be transferred to a charter halibut permit endorsed for six anglers or fewer, and no more than 600 GAF may be transferred to a charter halibut permit endorsed for more than six anglers.


GAF Permit Log: Upon retention of a GAF halibut, the charter vessel guide must immediately record on the GAF permit log (see back of this permit):

♦ Date that GAF was caught and retained

♦ Length of GAF. Halibut lengths are measured to the nearest inch in a straight line (not following the curve of the body) from the anterior-most tip of the lower jaw with the mouth closed to the extreme end of the middle of the tail.

♦      GAF electronic landing report confirmation number

Marking GAF: Charter vessel guides must immediately mark retained GAF by removing the tips of the upper and lower lobes of the caudal (tail) fin. Additionally, if filleted, the charter vessel guide is required to retain the carcass showing caudal fin clips until the halibut fillets are offloaded.


GAF Electronic Report: For each charter vessel fishing trip on which GAF are retained, GAF permit holders must complete a GAF electronic report before 11:59 p.m. (Alaska local time) on the last day of a charter trip in which a charter vessel angler retained GAF. The electronic reporting website is available at http:///putURLhere. After successful completion of the electronic report, a confirmation number will be issued as a receipt. Record the electronic report confirmation number on the GAF permit log. This confirmation will also show the balance of GAF remaining in the GAF permit holder’s account.
