Sorry Bud, Va pasted a law this year that no long can a out of state boat purchase a boat license. Now each indivual person out of state must purchase a license. Va offers I think a 10 day permit also. SORRY!

thanks,, here it is from their website:

Reciprocal Recreational Saltwater Fishing Licenses:

Chesapeake Bay and Seaside - Anglers with saltwater licenses from either Virginia or Maryland may fish in any portion of the Chesapeake Bay, or any of the saltwater reaches of its tributary rivers, as well as seaside bays and creeks and the Atlantic Ocean where a Virginia saltwater license is required

Don't forget that everyone on the boat needs a Federal Salwater Fisheries Permit card. State licenses and boat licenses DO NOT cover it.

I have the new federal permit but was told by the young lady at Cpt Zeds we did not need one to fish inside. Eather way I have one.

I have also been checked at Wachapreague several times and when the Marine police see my MD Ches Bay Sport lic. sticker on the boat they have never asked for fishing Lic. They are always very friendly and only hold you up for a few min.
