You WILL need a valid saltwater license to fish in Massachusetts beginning January 1, 2011. This can be a Massachusetts license, OR a RESIDENT license from a state that grants reciprocity to Massachusetts residents. As of now, the states that grant such reciprocity are NH, RI and CT. The Federal registry card alone WILL NOT allow you to fish in Massachusetts next year.

I hope this makes it clear. There is way too much confusion and wrong information being bandied about.

So I'm good to go whenever I fish in RI, CT, and MA right now. What about NY? it asked me where do i fish frequently. I clicked on NY because I am planning to fish in LI. Is it invalid in NY, especially Long Island marine water?
