Thanks that is what I thought. Paul

In case anyone is interested I just talked to the Marine Fisheries today and they told me that I am covered if I fish in the named boat on the license with other people, a boat permit. I am also able to fish and sell from my other skiff as long as I go by myself. I can also fish from the beach and sell also with the permit. So in other words the license is a boat permit on my named boat and it is a personal permit, with said restrictions, from any other boats and shore. Hope that clears it up. Paul

Thanks for that update PM. I'll bet you a 4oz jig if you call and ask the same question 3 more times to 3 different people you'll get 3 differing results...........that has been some of my questions to various Enviromental officers....one classic is ask an EC about using pollock for bait, they all have a different answer for thaqt one, very frustrating at times.

That may be so with a state boat license, but if you have a federal commercial license also, the federal superceeds the state license and the license goes to the boat that is named on the federal permitted boat ONLY!!!

I did talk to someone in the Pocasset office and he told me to call the guy in Boston I ended up talking to. The guy in Pocasset said he is the one to ask . I hope the hell he knows what he is talking about I asked him if he was sure about 3 times and he seemed confident. Who knows. Paul
