Is this legal?
So, I was walking along the canal over the weekend, and there was a guy there gill netting... I've not seen this before on the canal. I asked him what he was fishing for, and he said 'stripers'. To the best of my knowledge, you can't do this, even with a license.

Illegal. A quick perusal of Mass regs seem to indicate that the length of a gill net determines whether a license is required, and then only menhaden, sea herring, and mackeral can be caught. This isn't absolute; I may have missed something.

Maybe that guy is a Native Mass-hole and is subsistence fishing.
*Mass-holeekee is a native tribe correct?*

I see guys doing it to catch bait(sandeels) then they fish those for stripers, but never seen anyone trying to net stripers.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Yeah, it was probably Liz Warren who was subsistence fishing to get some protein for her tribe. |
