It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Out of State Boat, Charter, Striped bass, Seabass, Scup endorsements.... Mass Raises more than people think on license fees...

In keeping with the context of this thread its probably 240K or so just for striped bass endorsements. Licensing revenue overall would obviously have to be substantially higher. |

Yes it is true, but some people only get a license for the striped bass endorsement ONLY, fees being much higher for boat...

What I think would help is to make it mandatory to show your sales slip from the year before in order to get a license again the next year. I bet a big percent of the licenses in MA go to people who just pay the fee so they can skirt the bag limits. They take all the fish a com license allows but sell zero. This is just paying a fee to get around the bag limit laws. People do it for taug and fluke as well as stripers. It should be a regulation something like if you had a license last year , you cannot get a renewal ubnless you can prove you sold more than x amount of fish the year before.
There are two issues here. One , they get to skirt the bag limits for a price. Two , the fish they take are not counted in the quota because nobody knows they are taking them.
I think fixing that problem and forcing bicatch to be sold and counted would really go a long way to reducing the take pumping health into the fishery.
