Salt Water Fishing rules?

[mbba1785]

Last year we had to "Register" to fish saltwater but needed no license. I was under the impression that this year we would need a license and did not have to register.

I have not heard if this is so and where we have to go to obtain a License. Does anyone have any updates or a place for me to look for information.

Thanks in advance!

I think I just found my own answer in another area, It apparently can be done on line. Can a Lic. be purchased on the Cape in person?

Thank you Nance 1597!

No problem, glad to help. I don't know the answer to your other question. The best I can do is tell you to call your local Bait & Tackle shop. They also have to be set up for it. They need a computer to print it out. Nothing gets mailed to you.

I purchased on line last night after I found Nance's post. I found a small "fee" was added to the $10.00. It was easy and I printed my paperwork. It can be done from anywhere you have a printer available. I printed an extra for my vehicle.
