Stating a majority of for hire operators supports 2 fish options is simply incorrect. In MA there are THREE Charterboat Organizations representing 900 licensed for hire vessels. Two of the Three (Cape Cod Charterboat assn & Northeast Charterboat Captains assn.) supported 1 @ 28" for all.
At the MA hearings multiple people testified that they were for hire clients and that they supported 1 @ 28
I can't wait until tax documentation is required to renew both commercial & for hire permits. That day is coming sooner than later.
