Hey Guys,
Actually the license you are talking about is a NOAA license which is federal. As of right now Mass does not have its own license yet. If your state does not have its own state licsence the NOAA one you have works. If the state you are fishing in has its own state licesne then it won't. Next year Mass will have its own. So if you plan to fish Mass, RI, CT, NH, etc... you will need a different licesene for each, That is if all those states have their own. Confusing yes, but you are fine......for now
