over 200 sq ft you need a permit
It's usually an endorsement on you commercial boat permit

No permit needed to net live bait for personal use. The area of your net must be 200 sq ft or less. That translates to a 16' diameter cast net or smaller. Very few people can effectively use a cast net that big anyway. A 6 or 8 foot diameter net is all you need.

sounds like Niko's asking about a gillnet. I dont know MA regs, CT is $50 for 60ft x8 max length, 3" stretched net. or something like that

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus

2 inch mesh in Ma. for gillnet

Also,
The longer the net sits more likely pogies will die once in the net!

10 minutes will do
keep an eye on it

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.

i read this in the July 2006 issue of Commercial Fisheries News.

Quote:
During the June 9 meeting of the Massachusetts Marine Fisheries Commission, DMF Director Paul Diodati said a groundfish plan was needed to deal with several issues, including: a public petition to ban gillnetting in state waters; changes in federal groundfish rules; and an evolving commitment by the commission and DMF to take steps to preserve the inshore commercial fishery.

When I lived in CT you needed a permit and you were allowed a 100ft gill net, I don't recall that a depth was specified.

Niko,

I had one custom made 10 yrs ago when I the harbor. Very easy to use and only had one bluefish get in it. If you would like to try it out, let me know. If you like it, we can make a deal. I even used it from shore in the agawam, around the bridges. They work very well.

Rick
