Details: Tidal water limit (approximate)
For tidal waters a salt water recreational fishing license is required. When you purchase your Maine freshwater fishing license just check the box on the freshwater ...more license application that indicates that you will be fishing in salt water. If you have a lifetime freshwater fishing license you can get a saltwater recreational fishing license for a fee of $1 at the Department of Marine Resources Office which is now located in the AMHI offices complex in Augusta; and you have to do this every year. Saltwater recreational fishing licenses are also available at the Department of Marine Resources in Boothbay Harbor. Check the DMR website for a telephone number if you don't live near one these locations. If you do not have a lifetime license there its no fee for "checking the box" on the application for a regular fishing license.
