Plus, you're guaranteed multiple 40-60# fish every trip simply by purchasing one. Surf or boat, plugs or eels, it doesn’t matter.Its all guaranteed  |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

After reading this thread I know understand why recs hate comms so much....They just have no clue how it works. Its easy to hate something you don't know about. In the end its a good thing that the majority of the recs stick there noses up towards the comms, if they didn't there would be even more yahoos out during the season, making it shorter for the people actually trying to make some money. Don't get me started about the fact that RI boats can fish our season, and we can't get there permits anymore, not that they have much of a season to begin with. I wish mass would allow no more bass endorsements.

There are a set of checks and balances.With the insane bag limits and ease of aquiring a license in Ma,the price paid per pound is usually substancially lower in Ma than Ri.
In RI,it's impossible to get a bass endorsement right now,but if you already have one,it wouldn't make sense to sell your catch in Ma.where they pay less.
What does bother me,is seeing Ma.comm.boats fishing BI,and taking Ma.limits(in RI)to sell in Ma.

Wow, that sounds great. I'd enjoy multiple 40 - 60#ers each trip. If I had only known it was this easy years ago, I would have picked up the comm license. I could have spent so much less time working hard at finding and catching fish. Maybe with the license, they'll just jump right in the boat without even having to leave the mooring. |

I'm curious, why does MA allow out of state commercial fisherman to fish in state waters and use up commercial allocation share? Do they have to because of federal law? I don't have a commercial permit and the qouta will be the same either way, so I have no stake in this, but it does seem like the MA commercial guys would want the neighboring state guys kept away. |

As far as I know it's the same in all states. Out of staters pay a premium but they can get a permit. |

Plenty of MA or CT guys have RI license.
Surprised me when I found out...
Should be residents only! |

how do they track the quota then? If it's by sales, what's stopping a guy from catching in RI and selling in MA to extend his RI quota?

Nothing really, just honesty  and the risk of getting caught with too many fish in RI, where I think the commercial limit is lower |

well hey, I guess if you buy licenses in both states, you're entitled to selling your quota in both states as well. |
