you do need a recreational permit to put down a lobster pot. It cost ten bucks and it allows you to fish5 or 6 pots (im not sure). Last year was my first year and it was educational but messy. its fun to check the pots but dont get to optimistic i averaged about 1 to2 lobsters a week with 2 pots in the smithtown bay area.dont know about the crabs or eels. hope i helped
