That's a good call by sokinwet with the 75lb open access permit - that's not much cod, but the fine print that makes it work is the Haddock daily limit -- which is currently "unlimited".

Yes a good call, however don't forget the "state juristriction waters" part. Depending on where you are fishing out of, and the time of year, and the rolling closures....which run all the way to the shore and superceed the state regs.... you'll be lucky to get into good groundfishing for cod and haddock in state waters..

If your out of the Scituate, North River area only 3 mi from shore your past the demarkation line. Makes it hard to fish in state waters close to home.

Yes, can be very confusing. So much so many of the EPO's don't know the regs. Half the time I think I know them and then am told different.

hey jon, home yet? all this stuff is like stereo instructions, it overwhelms me. i should prob go talk to someone at dmf and see what's what. i'm sure it will turn into a giant pia and i will say f it. a couple of years ago i took most of the summer off and just bass fished. it took some of the joy out of fishing when the bass=dollars, you couldn't just call it a day. i'm not going to fish like that, i'd just like to be able to sell a little more to offset some of the expenses. we'll see what happens

pre-kid life - wasn't that long ago but seems like a world away. at 60 bucks a dozen i should sell them to the tuna tourists. it would be worth the 60 just to watch me drive the boat and try to throw the castnet at the same time.

I only used the rolling closer letter a few times. Using the letter a person had to wait till August 1st to sell fish. Now that I do, do more commercial I do not bother getting the rolling closer LOA. My boat does not go in the water till 1st of May. I can wait for June 1st to go bottom fishing below the 4230 and July 1st for around Cape Ann & Stellwagon. And from mothers Day on I'll be fishing for stripers.

Last year was a bit slow,but had a good time.

I just got all my permits for this year. I have to rewire and repower this season, I will be starting March. Hope to be ready for April??
I will be in a slip this year to hopefully make things a bit easier??

Had a great time Cod fishing out of Chatam last fall. I have my Fed. Lic for Cod but them 75 pounds are better on my plate then for the little cash they give you for them.

Good Luck Niko!
