Trapping Eels

check for local reg. In my town you are allowed 1 pot only and you must have a rec shellfish licence and a float attached with your name on it.

Yep...Each town in MA gets to regulate the taking of eels in saltwater. Once you move into freshwater DFW takes over and you can fish a pot on your FW fishing license.

So, you need a FW license if your pot is in FW? Never would have thought of that. I usually don't get a FW license. Thanks for the heads up.

So what have we learned?????

I want to explore this subject for the coming year. Pics of your pot? Make or buy?
