Yeah, what really bugs me about this is the state reciprocity issue ... when you fish out of Stonington via boat, you could be in RI, NY and CT waters within minutes ... and if you don't bother fishing in CT at all, since Fisher's Island is all within NY ... do you still need to purchase a license for CT? As it would be tough to prove that you did not fish in CT waters when you return to port. So what do you do, have to purchase both a CT and NY license, along with a MA and any others that you may want to visit briefly ...?
One good thing about the Florida license for residents is that you don't need a license if you are fishing from shore ... although it may have changed since I lived there in the 1990s, but at that time, all residents who did not fish from boats could fish without the license and they sold a combo license with snook stamp for only two buck more at a reasonable cost ...
Something tells me that Mass will be a mess ...
