"(C) Shore Based Angling: When angling from shore (includes beaches, banks, piers, jetties,
breakwaters, docks, and other man-made structures connected to the shore), all species may be
taken or possessed year-round (See 27.50(b)(1) for exceptions in the Cowcod Conservation Areas). No
vessel or watercraft (motorized or non-motorized) may be used to assist in taking or possessing
these
species while angling from shore under this provision."
It's pretty plain, you have to read the small print.
