SAND EELS ><>,

[Clammer]

do you have to be a MA> resident to rake sand eels in MA.?

Do I need a license ???


Thanks

[MAKAI]

Don't laugh a few years ago a couple of Barney Fifes pulled me out of the water at hatches saying it was against the law to be raking shellfish. Took ten minutes to explain what I was doing.( raking sandeels ) One ranger says I guess it's ok we don't have a rule against that for now. Meanwhile the fat little pugsley with him keeps tapping his sidearm looking at me with his mirrored aviators. Yeeesh what joke.

Don't know with new regs Mike but back when I was fishing the Back heavy we raked over at Pamet all the time and then ran across to Ballston.
We never had a probelm and saw cops and rangers all the time. RI plates on both of our trucks that we ran to the Cape with.

Call Mike T and ask , I bet he knows

[ProfessorM]

been doing it for many years and never had a license. I have not started yet this year, but I am sure they are there. I have no need for them now. I think fluke opened today in Ma. My favorite fluke bait, so maybe soon. Mike I will give you a pm when I start raking and maybe if you want I can take you in the tin boat but you will have to wear a blindfold. Is fluke what you want them for?

No license required to rake them, except, if you are selling them - then you need a license.

[Clammer]

yo yoing a sand eel? Whats next? yo yoing grass shrimp?

[ProfessorM]

yo yoing sand eels. interesting. Never tried it but I do find fresh to be the best bait for fluke when I go. Especially 2 with a double hook strip bait. I will try this weekend and see if any are there, I've seen plenty swimming around, and if so maybe we can try late next week if you want or if I get a bunch when I go looking I will give them to you.
