In July the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a rule that won’t take effect until January.

It will require charter boat captains to buy and maintain a GPS tracking system on their boat.

“We spend a lot of time and effort out there trying to find our spots to be consistent every single day,” A&B Charters captain Bobby Nagaj said. “It takes a lot of time and effort so once big brother government has those, they’re there for everyone.”

They also need to log everything they catch.
