INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING 2020 SALTWATER LOGBOOK PAGES

Vessel Registration

All vessels used in sport fishing guide activities must be registered with ADF&G. All vessels must have a current
AK registration number issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a current USCG documentation
number prior to registering with ADF&G. If the vessel has an AK number, the AK number must be displayed
during guided fishing operations.

Vessel Decal/Year Stickers

One set of ADF&G decals will be issued per registered vessel. Decals must be applied and visible on both sides
of the vessel. Decals do not have to be applied directly to the hull of the vessel. Decals can be adhered to wood,
fiberglass or plexiglas® which in turn is secured to both sides of the vessel. Decals can be transferred from one
vessel to another; as long as the receiving vessel has a current AK registration number from DMV or a current
USCG documentation number and has been registered with ADF&G. Year stickers will be issued as vessels are
registered and must be adhered directly to the decal in the designated area. Lost decals and year stickers can be
replaced free of charge at any ADF&G office.

Transferring A Logbook

A logbook is issued to a specific business for a specific vessel. All active vessels must be registered and issued a
current year logbook from an ADF&G office. Logbooks may not be transferred between businesses. Only the
business the logbook is issued to may use the logbook.
If a vessel belonging to a registered sport fish business is borrowed by another business, the borrowing business
must be currently registered and must acquire their own logbook.
If a business substitutes a different vessel for the primary vessel during any part of the season, the original logbook
can be used on the substitute vessel for up to seven (7) consecutive days. A temporary vessel used for more than
seven (7) consecutive days must be issued a new logbook. ADF&G must be notified (see contact information on
page v) with the substitute vessel registration information.
All vessels engaged in fishing with clients on board must be registered and display the vessel decals.

Return The Logbook Pages Weekly

Fishing activity that occurs prior to April 6, 2020 is due to ADF&G by April 13, 2020; all activity thereafter must
be received by ADF&G WEEKLY as detailed in the schedule on the inside of the front cover of this book. Logbook
pages can be submitted to any ADF&G office or mailed to the address printed on the back of each logbook page.
PINK COPIES OF THE LOGBOOK PAGES ARE TO REMAIN IN THE LOGBOOK

Responsibility Of Business Owner & Guide
Guides are responsible for completing logbook pages in the manner and at the location specified in the logbook
instructions.
ADF&G licensed business owners are responsible for reporting logbook information and submitting the completed
logbook pages to the department for fishing activities from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 for each sport
fishing guide they employ in accordance with the schedule printed inside the front cover of the logbook.

What A Guide Must Have In Possession While Guiding

While providing sport fishing guide services, a sport fishing guide shall have the following readily available for
inspection by request of a representative of the Department of Fish & Game, a peace officer of the state, or law
enforcement representative of the National Marine Fisheries Service:
¾¾ A current sport fishing guide registration issued by ADF&G;
¾¾ Copy of the current ADF&G sport fishing owner’s business registration of the guide’s employer;
¾¾ A current Alaska sport fishing license, tags, stamps or permits that are required to engage in the sport
fishery for which guide services are being provided;
¾¾ An identification card issued to the sport fishing guide by a state or federal agency that bears a photo of
the sport fishing guide. The identification card MUST match the name on the guide license;
¾¾ Per federal regulation, a saltwater charter logbook if halibut are being harvested.

Other agencies, such as the USCG or National Marine Fisheries Service, may have additional requirements. It is
your responsibility to determine what those requirements are.
See page v for Federal Regulations.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING 2020 SALTWATER LOGBOOK PAGES

When and How to Complete A Logbook Page
A Charter Vessel Fishing Trip is defined as the time period between the first deployment of fishing gear
from a vessel providing sport fishing guide services, and the offloading of one or more anglers or any
harvested fish from the vessel. A trip that does not include any paying clients and is completed with
“comped anglers” without the guide receiving ANY tips or other compensation is NOT considered a
chartered trip. In this case, a logbook page should not be completed and submitted to the ADF&G. If a
guide is present during a private fishing trip, the guide may be compensated for actual daily expenses for
fuel, food, or bait. In this case a logbook page should not be completed or submitted to ADF&G. However,
if the guide receives any other compensation for assisting anglers, such as daily wages, tips, moorage fees,
etc. from a registered fishing service or from clients, a logbook page should be completed and submitted
to ADF&G.
Additional information about regulations and definitions related to guide and business registration and
guiding can be found at: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=SFGuidesLicense.Businesslicense
Before a Trip (see definition above) Begins, the Guide must Record:

 The 2020 sport fishing license number, permanent identification number (PID) or disabled veteran
(DAV) license number for anyone that will fish during any part of the trip, including paying and
non-paying (comped) anglers and crew.
 The first and last name of each angler in the space provided below their license number.
 The word “Youth” in the fishing license space along with the first and last name on the name
line for resident anglers under the age of 18 and non-resident anglers under the age of 16.
Multiple youth anglers on a trip should be recorded as Youth 1, Youth 2 etc.

Complete the logbook through the last charter trip of the season in the following manner:
Returning to a Dock:

 Complete and sign the logbook page before offloading any fish from the vessel. If no fish were kept,
complete and sign the logbook page before offloading any clients.
No Docking Facilities (e.g. trailered vessels):

 Complete and sign the logbook page before the vessel or guide departs the launch/landing site
AND before offloading any fish from the vessel.
 If no fish were kept, complete and sign the logbook page before the vessel or guide departs the
launch/landing site.
No Vessel Used (aircraft, highway vehicles, walk-in, ATVs, etc.):
 Complete and sign the logbook page before the guide leaves the fishing site. Fishing site is defined
as the location where the fishing activity took place.
Multiple Trips per Day:
Use a separate logbook page for each trip if multiple trips were taken during the same day. Complete and
sign the logbook page at the end of each trip as described above.
Multi-Day Trips:
Complete and sign a logbook page at the end of each day on which sport fishing guide services were
provided. Use a separate logbook page for each day of the trip. Record the port or community of offloading
at the end of the multiple-day trip, not the port or location where the vessel anchored or moored each night.
For example, for a five-day trip with only three days of guided fishing, three logbook pages should be
submitted, all with different dates fished but with the same port or community of offloading.

Federal regulations require every angler (including youth) in IPHC Area 2C or 3A
who keep halibut to sign on the angler signature line directly beneath the angler’s first
and last name on each page.

“Shakers”

King salmon under 28” in Southeast Alaska must be released upon capture, unless
caught in designated terminal harvest areas, or allowed by emergency order.

Pelagic Rockfish

Includes black, dark, and dusky rockfish (commonly called “black bass”), yellowtail,
widow, and blue rockfish. These species of rockfish are uniformly gray, green, brown,
or black (see rockfish ID chart in your regulation booklet).

Yelloweye Rockfish

Commonly called “red snapper.” Adults are primarily orange with a pale yellow line
running along the lateral line; juveniles display two bold white lateral stripes. Yelloweye
Rockfish have yellow eyes and can grow to 36 inches in length.

Other Non-Pelagic
Rockfish

Includes quillback, copper, silvergray, China, tiger, and other rockfish species.

Sablefish
(Black Cod)

Sablefish, commonly known as black cod, have a streamlined, elongated body, and are black
to dark gray on top and fade to gray or white on the belly with two dorsal fins and small
teeth. Larger Sablefish can be found in deep water and can grow to 40 inches.

Salmon Shark

This is a single species, Lamna ditropis. These sharks are large, firm, dark brown or
black on top with white bellies with dark blotches. Do not include spiny dogfish (“sand
shark”) or sleeper sharks (“mud sharks”) in this category.
