Thanks Captian for putting up what you could find.
Stripertime: 26-142a-6. Commercial fishing gear. This includes the gill net category which as you can read above straight from the keyboard of the commissioner of the DEEP is exempt from the creel limit.
Congratulations folks , you have take the first steps to regulate the recreational sector out of the fishery. Before ya piss and moan crying that the comm. sector needs limits in the state as well , take a little time to consider what you are asking for. If you have already cut your access to procuring your own or do not have the time or ability to get your own bait or chum you are currently buying it things could become expensive. Nothing would make me happier than if you guys were to get a commercial limit set , it would drive the wholesale price up 3 to 4 times what it currently is now. Keep in mind it is a limited access fishery; if you are no in it now you cannot get in it.
