Not realizing that option 2 for HADDOCK closes for May for private anglers.
Gonna have to go with option 1 after re reading options. The fact that opt 2 for haddock would be open for for hire boats in MAY and not for private boats is absolutely criminal.

Federally licensed charter/party boats have to abide by the strictest rules, even when fishing in state waters. So for them there is no cod possession anytime, anywhere. So effectively they already have option 1. To penalize them if MA decides to give private boaters one cod wouldn't be fair.
