Depends. A basic rod and reel license is $35, which allows you to commercial fish from shore. For boaters, the license cost varies with the size of the boat. Additionally, certain species require an endorsement on your license, which requires an extra fee per species. For stripers, it's $30.
To get one, you send a completed application to DMF with a check for the license and any species endorsement. There are currently no restrictions or grandfathering affecting obtaining one. To renew one, you must submit a completed catch report by October 31.
