i just put a bunch of layers of shipping tape over mine. cheap.... should do the job

Thanks for posting this thread
 

I just pulled the trigger,and I honestly I think this is gay:fury:
Secondly can I fish in other States(legally),if so which ones?
Thirdly how old do you have to be to obtain one?

Staples will laminate them right in the copy center, I had four done the other day and it was like two bucks.

You can fish in RI, CT and NH presently. If other states institute licenses and make them reciprocal with Mass, the list will get bigger.

You don't need a license if you're under 16. Everyone 16 years or older needs a license, even if there's no fee for them (eg, over 60, "disabled" etc).

Thanks Mike,my son just hit 16 and I wasn't sure as to what age is eligible.

I am really hoping to see DMF have some positive advancements taking place with the monies collected in the next year or two. I just can't shake that screw me feeling.

I did it yesterday.I'm not a supporter of it at all.If the money is used to help keep the beaches clean,porta johns in public places and trash removal,I have no problem paying.If the money is dumped into the general fund and helps pay for some politicians 1000 dollar a plate dinner I am not happy.This fee is going to get higher and higher as the years go by.The government will try and profit from it like everything else.Yeah I paid 7 bucks and a couple for some lamination sheets at staples.I've never been checked in fresh.

I thought the fee was to cover the cost of the telephone surveys along with the overhead.
Now if everyone says the monies should go for here and there then don't complain when the fee goes up and you get your wish

I can see what will happen already, DMF gets x amount of dollars from the sale of licenses, following year DMFs' budget gets cut by X. no gain just pain.:smash:

From the bottom of page that license was printed;

The Division of Marine Fisheries is dedicated to sustaining our fisheries and a healthy marine ecosystem theough innovation, collaboration, and leadership. Recreational saltwater fishing permit fees are directed to programs in support of this vision.

Fees are used to improve public access to our resources and build programs that advance management of out fisheries. With your continued support we will work to enrich the publics (sic) way of life for many years into the future.


We'll see.....

Nothing misleading about it.. It just doesn't apply to the blind...
anyone regardless of age that falls under the MA General Law Chapter 19C section 1
As far as ID goes I'm not 100% sure if they still read disabled if the person is disabled on the ID.

Well, that covers just about half of us on this board........
