eFin Logbook is an electronic trip reporting application for private recreational tilefish anglers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic (from Virgina north)



Recreational anglers fishing for golden and blueline tilefish in federal waters from Virginia to Maine are required to submit electronic trip reports within 24 hours of returning from any trip where tilefish were caught or targeted (even if no tilefish were caught or kept). eFin Logbook provides anglers a secure and user-friendly platform to fulfill these reporting requirements. eFin Logbook is certified by NOAA Fisheries as an approved application for compliance with tilefish trip reporting requirements.

Before using the app, make sure you have created a NOAA Fish Online account (could include a bit.ly link here) and obtained a free recreational tilefish permit, which is required at the vessel level.



Consistent and accurate reporting of your tilefish catch and fishing activity ensures that these fisheries are being monitored and managed appropriately. Your contributions are an investment in long-term fishery health
