News  Updated MassFishHunt Permitting System

7/02/2025
  • Division of Marine Fisheries

The MassFishHunt recreational fishing and hunting permitting system transitioned to an updated online platform in May. The most notable change is that customers now log into MassFishHunt using MyMassGov—a secure service that allows users to sign in to multiple Massachusetts state applications with a single account and password. After completing a one-time registration with MyMassGov, users will log into MassFishHunt—and other state applications with the same credentials (email and password). Go to massfishhunt.mass.gov to begin the login process and purchase your Recreational Saltwater Fishing or Non-Commercial Lobster Permit. For help with the login process, click here

Improvements and new features will be added in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for commemorative hard cards that will be available to purchase later this year!   

Permits will still be available for in-person purchase at DMF offices, MassWildlife offices, and authorized vendors. Click here for a license agent map.
