Don't forget, if you fish OUTSIDE of state and federal waters (like off Andros, or on the Cay Sal Bank of the Bahamas), the limits do not apply. However, you cannot stop your vessel once you cross back inside the 12 mile limit, and you must check in by radio or cell-phone with Cuss-thems BEFORE you tie up to any place but a Customs dock.
I went fishing on the Cay Sal Bank 3 years ago, leaving out of Bud & Mary's, and we came back with Black grouper out of season. They were legal to take in the Bahamas, but it was off-season in Florida. We checked in with Customs & FWC on the radio, met the FWC officer back at the marina, showed them our GPS track, and they said 'have a nice day".
