INSTRUCTIONS
The information provided by this report will assist us in making fishery management decisions. Please help us manage the fishery
for your benefit by completing this report as accurately as possible.
This report is to be completed at the end of each trip. If you fish in more than one area on a given trip, please make an entry for
each area. Record the pounds of menhaden kept as well as the fishing area and the fishing effort expended. Fishing effort must
include: the length (in feet) of the gillnet you used, the number of times you set the net, and the total number of hours (for all sets
combined on that trip) that you fished with the gillnet. This report must be filled out completely.
The Connecticut Personal Use Gillnet License permits you to use a single gillnet not greater than 60 feet to take only menhaden
for personal use, and only in Connecticut’s marine waters. In the Long Island Sound and Vicinity Fishing Area Chart below, this
includes areas 1-3, as well as parts of areas 151-155. Check the Marine Fisheries Information Circular for more details on the
demarcation line between inland and marine districts for near shore areas.
THIS REPORT MUST BE SUBMITTED BY JANUARY 31, 2017 TO THE ADDRESS BELOW. Failure to report or
submitting incomplete reports will disqualify you from obtaining a renewal of your license. For inform
ation or assistance
regarding this report, contact the DEP Marine Fisheries Division.
