Catch Report

[johlar]

Anyone fill out a lobster catch report for Massachusetts yet this year? I'm having trouble finding the form.

Or is it too early yet?

When you get your renewal form in the mail, the catch report section comes with it. You wont get that until December at the earliest.

Does the catch report have a dive to lobster ratio? I just don't want anyone to get hurt laughing when I submit mine.

Where do you get a lobster license??

You'll find a link to the application here:
http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dmf/commercialfishing/lic_ndx.htm

Fill that out, and send it in with the $40 fee.

LOL...don't worry. They'll be laughing at me. I think I only took 2 lobsters all season...I didn't really go out for them much this year.

I don't remember, but I seem to recall they have a field for hours spent diving for lobsters. lobsters taken diving, traps fished and lobsters trapped.

Sog... you just have to change your definitions! A dive is a dive, and it's only a lobster dive if you come back with a bug! I think I got a couple in the spring, and I only did one true lobster dive this year.. granted I got 3

Anyone still getting bugs out there?
