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. |

The rhody quota is very small and has a 5 fish per day bag. The quota typically fills in one or two weeks. Hook and line licenses in rhody are practically impossible to acquire and you need to be a resident of RI. Mass is a free for all. The seasons typically don't run concurrently as rhody is usually filled in early June before Mass opens. Rhody sometimes opens for an additional week in september if there is any unused quota to be filled.
Mass should be resident only IMO. That's the biggest issue I have with the way its handled.
As far as catching in one state and selling in another, you'd be foolish to risk it if its your livlihood, although I'm sure it happens. |
