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.

a boat permit will cost you $130 for any boat under 59 feet. a striper endorsement will cost you $30. in fact, all the endorsements cost $30. its pretty simple. the only factor today is they make you sign a sheet saying that the state reserves the right to take your license b/c you purchased after the state initiated a control date, which i think was sometime in 2004. so if you buy a license now, and the state decides to cut down the number of permits, you can lose it. also, if you don't send in your catch reports they are pulling permits. they are having a real problem with the numbers and i almost lost all my permits last year b/c i didn't send in a catch report for eels that i never even received from the state! they were holding all my other permits which i need to make a living until they got that peice of paper.
that was the one BB. the red tube did the job.
