First, if you buy one online, be prepared to pay a "convenience fee" for buying it online.

A freshwater license online will cost $30.00 ($27.50 PLUS $2.50 fee)

The saltwater license will cost $11.80 ($10.00 PLUS $1.80 fee)

I will be buying my license from local vendors, since I won't have time to go into the city to the headquarters in Boston.

I love how they nickel and dime us with these "convenience fees" that are only convenient to the a-holes that are collecting them without having to do a damn thing to earn them!

Mind you, the fees are not going to the Fish & Game, but to the company that maintains the website. Didn't they get paid for creating that WONDEFUL WEBSITE (You know, the one that was down for about a month last winter, preventing ANY online sales.)?

OK, I'm done. I need to get a bite to eat.
