(a) Has more than six (6) mussels in his possession, unless he has a mussel buyer’s license;
(2) A licensed musseler may be accompanied by one (1) unlicensed helper.
This sounds like you can have 6 non-Fed-listed mussels in your possession to me, regardless of whether you have a fishing license or not, since the fishing regulations do not explicitly prohibit the possession of mussels.
Your link to the code just says a wildlife office has the right to inspect for a violation, like, um, 7 mussels? How random is that?
I also found it interesting that a "minnow" is only 6" long. I guess more than that is, um, "dinner"? lol
