Anyone renew their Mass lobster license online yet?

The site I usually use: http://www.sport.state.ma.us/ seems to be down and has been for the past couple days at least.

Has anyone had success getting on recently or use an alternate site?

I have not, but since i'm in Boston i will go in person to get it, is what i did last year, took me just 10 minutes and i walked out with my license, no wait for me.

I renewed bug license and boat registrations last week.

It seems to be working fine today ( Dec 29th )

Strange...it keeps hanging and eventually times out -- are you using that exact link?

I had no trouble renewing my lobstah permit just a couple of minutes ago. I did not follow the link above but typed in the exact same words and dots(w/o the http:// and the final /). Now I just wish I could use the thing before May.

Why can't you? I find bugs as early as Feb. Not in great numbers but still worth it.

Hello,

I just grabbed mine and the site seems to be ok!

Still doing the wetsuit thing. I'd freeze my arse off diving this time of year. I'm definitely in the market for a drysuit for the upcoming season. Target date is that weekend in August the Commonwealth goes tax-free, but maybe sooner if the right deal comes my way. I've heard once you go dry, you'll never go back......

The gods are trying to tell me something. I finally got on and got a system error when I submitted my credit card info.

I'd be very curious to get some of the aggregated stats on lobster collecting -- the distribution, frequency, and averages of season catches for divers and lobstermen, the same for hours.

Actually, I'll just put up a little poll and see how people's seasons were. Anonymous of course, so no inflation (did anyone else deflate their numbers when reporting on the Mass Fisheries site just in case someone out there decides to add further limits?)
