To all- Thanks for your patience while I have been waiting on the official DNR response to the issue of who can sell what cobia to whom. I have set forth below Ms. Amy Dukes’ response, who I understand reviewed same with DNR Law Enforcement and the appropriate federal agencies, since cobia are regulated by both groups. This is her verbatim response:
"Good afternoon Russell - Round two…ready for you to share Thank you for holding off until we could verify the information.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide ■■■■■■■■ on existing laws and regulations regarding the sale and purchase of commercially caught cobia in South Carolina.
After reading the post, I want to make sure that some of the terminology being used is corrected. SCDNR does not have a “land and sell license”. All commercial saltwater fishermen and their gear(s) (hook and line, crab pot, etc.) are individually licensed by the SCDNR, and fishermen are required to sell their catch to a licensed SC Wholesale Seafood Dealer.

Originally posted by wildlifescHaven’t seen a rockfish in the Salkehatchie since I was a teenager, Fred. It was just above the forks…so it just missed the Combahee!

Cool stuff Mr. Wildlifesc, we were just a bit up from the forks and also just a bit down from the forks. 
And for Cuckhold’s creek… did you ever bust a shear pin in that creek? I wonder how many remember shear pins? Does a White Buck tail with a red feather in it mean anything to you? Today it seems the best thing you catch at the mouth is a bunch of small catfish… not that that is bad.

Thanks rpatterson for getting this to light.
Also, for information to readers and according to DNR, there are currently NO dealers in Beaufort County meeting the below requirements…

Fish may only be sold to a licensed SC Wholesale Seafood Dealer who must also hold a federal Gulf and South Atlantic Dealer Permit (as of August 2014)
Appreciate the info.
