As a reminder, Pound Net, Fyke Net, Gill Net, commercial Hook and Line, and commercial Crab Pots are limited entry licenses. Therefore, they must be renewed no later than the last business day of January 2026 in order to avoid late fees. Between February 1, 2026 and April 30, 2026, these licenses may be renewed with a penalty (see Regulation I, Sec. 1(c)). Remember, if renewing by mail, it is your responsibility to ensure that the PRFC has received your application and mail in plenty of time to make sure it arrives before the cut-off date for limited entry licenses. Postmarks are not taken into consideration for late renewals.
