Keep looking down to paragraph K, answers the question.
It shall be unlawful for any person to harvest, possess or sell river herring in the Town of Barnstable or in the waters under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
(1)
Exceptions. The Director of the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries may authorize the harvest and possession of river herring from a particular spawning run for personal use based on documentation that the spawning run from which herring are harvested is not depleted.
(2)
Tolerance for bait fisheries. No person shall possess any batch of fish where more than 5% of the total is comprised of river herring species by count.
(3)
Expiration. These measures shall expire on January 1, 2015
A quick google and you will find this same code has been listed in the Barnstable town code since 2000. They just keep changing the date at the bottom of paragraph K. It also allows Non Resident permits for $25 when/if the fishery opens up.
