I already got my fiching license for 2005 last week.
The MassWildlife website has online licenses, and it is mailed within 3-5 days.
They have lists that tell places that should be good for specific species such as Largemouths, Smallmouths, Pike/Muskies, stocked trout waters, and even Broodstock Salmon.
They also have printable pond maps for most of the state, so there is a very good selection to choose from. About 95% of the maps also have survey information that list the most recent sampling of fish taken from that particular body of water.
I found a few ponds that were productive (for me) for my first season on the ice.
I'm interested in a derby, but alas, I will have to plan to "not be working" that weekend. (I'm helping my brother with his summer cottage project up near Winnipesauke.)
