The new Mass commercial regs for 2010 indicate all vessels will need to submit trip level reporting either by mail or electronically. Not sure about other states or charter ops though.
This may help alleviate some of the over runs in the quota as there will be a "real time" tally going versus waiting for the fish houses to submit thier data weekly or longer.

In RI, We are required to have a trip log on board, that must be filled every day; (Bass, Fluke, Scup, etc), where we sell, where we fish, etc. Those log book entries must be sent to RIDEM every quarter.
I believe next year in MA, catch reports must be submitted monthly.
Cowhunter, like you, I have a MA boat permit, bass endorsement, no charter endorsement(my fee is $380); my RI license is $275 with all the endorsements......
