I'm wondering if they have determined what the black sea bass limits will be for 2011, still worried about going from 20 fish per day to 5 or 1 based on previous threads. Neither make sense to me, but I'd rather eat black sea bass than anything I catch, so while I've not previous bothered with a commercial license; might consider one just so I can actually bring some of those tasty critters home for the diner table.

If I were to get a commercial license and don't actually do any selling, can I assume my paperwork is zero or very limited? I'd also assume I would then ignore any rec seasons or limits and my fishing and taking is governed strickly by the commercial limits and seasons?

Can I assume since I see no endorsement available for fluke, that no new commercial Mass license's are available? If so and I buy a commerciall license, but can't grab a fluke endorsement, then I'm rec fishing for fluke?

Thanks.
