222.0. "Lobster Licenses" by FUNBOX::RESKER () Mon Dec 19 1988 12:56

    Could someone give me some information on lobster licenses?
    
    This would be for Mass and for lobster potting (not scuba).  I'm
    thinking in the area of 6 traps or less.  Is there a non-commercial
    license?
    
    How difficult to obtain? 
    Where to obtain?
    When to obtain?
    How much?
                   
    thanks,

    tim,
    
      Look in the fishing notes, there is a Mass Lobster License note
    that I started that has most of the info.
    
    btw...I bought six traps and fished them, I only have 4 left, lost
    2 to the elements. Lots of short bugs and not enough keepers. I
    may sell the 4 traps (wire) that I still have. It makes a bit of
    a mess of you boat, about the same mess a good day of bluefishing.
    I can give more details if you are interested.

    Call the Department of Marine Fisheries in Boston Ma. for an
    application. Non-Commercial licence is $30.00 (last year anyway)
    and can be had through the mail or in person if you want to make
    the jaunt into Bean Town. 
    
    The licence is good a 10 pot family. Also doubles for taking bugs
    using scuba but only for the licence holder.
    
    lots of fun.
