Hi. Following up on the prior post re: Antigua, we are chartering in Antigua later this week. I've got two questions:

1) Fishing license: The charter company says we don't need one. My own research seems to indicate that the fisheries department requires a recreational sport fishing license - $100 for 3 months. Does anyone know for sure? We will predominantly be trolling a few lines off the back of the boat and maybe some bottom fishing while at anchor. If we do need one, is the fisheries department in St. John open on the weekends?

2) Offshore Fishing and Customs clearance - Charter company claims that if we go offshore 10 miles or more we need to clear back into customs upon returning. That seems a bit strange. Do I need to clear out first? It would seem odd to show up at customs to clear in after a 6 hour fishing trip.

Thoughts?
