Just a heads up, June 23-24, 2018 are Free Fishing Days in NY. During Free Fishing Days/Weekends, anyone can fish the fresh waters of New York State and no fishing license is required! All other freshwater fishing regulations still apply. https://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_pdf/fishguide.pdfJust in case it happens to coincide with your travels, or gadabout...
Take both. Lots of great options in NH & MA in both fresh and salt.
I gave up trailering with covers on the boat years ago, it beats them up. Either way you go, have fun!
definitely take both!!!! you know you want to.
