If I transfer my lobster operator permit to another commercial fisherman during season, will I need to pull my traps to the tags to the new permit holder?

Not necessarily, the new permit transfer regulation just requires that all trap tags be provided to the new permit holder once the transfer has been approved. It is up to the current and prospective permit holders to work out how the tags are to be transferred.
