Navigating the intricacies of commercial fishing regulations can be formidable without the right guidance and understanding of the necessary legal documents. The Form 9400-020, a crucial piece of documentation for those seeking to embark on commercial fishing activities within the bountiful waters of the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers, serves as a gateway to this venture. Managed by the Department of Natural Resources, this application facilitates the acquisition of a commercial fishing license, detailing the types and quantities of nets permissible for use in compliance with Wisconsin Statutes and the Wisconsin Administrative Code. The form not only mandates the submission of personal and business identification but also stipulates the inclusion of a social security number or a federal employment identification number, underpinning the serious legal obligations entailed. With an annual expiration date of April 15th, it underscores the need for timely submissions by potential licensees. Additionally, the form outlines various fees associated with different fishing nets, making it imperative for applicants to accurately calculate their total payable fee based on their specific equipment needs. As a required step by the Department, its completion is paramount for those wishing to legally exploit the fishing opportunities these rivers offer, thereby ensuring adherence to the state's conservation aims and the sustainable use of its natural resources.
