Description
Eel pots. Authorizes the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries to issue an annual permit to use eel pots in the waters of Back Bay and its tributaries. The annual permit fee to catch eels for commercial purposes is $50 and the annual permit fee to take eels for personal use is $17.50. The bill requires a nonresident to purchase a harvester's license for each boat used in taking eels at a cost of $350 per boat, unless he already holds a nonharvester's license to take other types of finfish in inland waters. This fee is in addition to the permit fee for eel pots. Read the Bill »
