What to Know About this New England Commercial Fishing Permit 

To really take advantage of this, you need to have either an open access permit (also known as “Category K,”) or, alternatively, a “limited access Northeast multispecies permit,” (also known as “Categories A-F”). Should you have the latter, you can fish for whiting while the vessel isn’t fishing under a “day at sea” and while declared “out of the fishery.” That’s true if the vessel is required to operate a “Vessel Monitoring System.” We know that this can be a lot to process.
