Annually most states in the U.S. offer free fishing weekends where you can go fishing without a license. Free fishing days are a great opportunity to try out fishing for the first time or get back to what you once enjoyed. If you already have a license, it's a good day to introduce a friend to fishing.
Massachusetts 2020 FREE Fishing Days:
First Saturday & Sunday in June (Freshwater). June 6-7
Fathers Day weekend June (Saltwater) June 20-21
