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.

Pretty sure you will have to fill out trip catch reportsfor every time you fish, and log the days you didn't.
