Thanks MakoMike,
Is the Federal registry relevant in these states?

Direct from the site I linked above:
"Do I need to sign up for the National Saltwater Angler Registry as I did in 2010 (and pay an additional $15 starting in 2011)?
No, the Federal permit no longer covers you to fish in Massachusetts waters. Your MA permit allows you to fish in MA and Federal waters as well as land your fish in Massachusetts. "

I just checked my FED Registry and my card is up 9/16/11. Are you saying the FED card will cost me $15.00 to renew?
I just registered with Rhode Island, paid my $10.00 and got RI's salt water license.
I now have a free New Jersey and a $10.00 Rhode Island saltwater fishing license, according to MakoMike, I should be able to fish NY, Conn, RI, and Mass.
Will I still need to get the FED card?

Thanks
Brian
