What is the rule for fishing cranberry bogs? I would assume they are on private property but I keep hearing how good they are for fishing. Do you ask permission and who would you ask?

Here is a little tip for anyone who wants to know if you are on state land or not. This is not an exact science but Ben's maps pretty much are right on the money. Everyone here needs to know that you have free access to one of the best map programs on the web.
Go to Ben's maps and find the bogs you want to fish. Lets say you want to fish Wescoat Bog. Move the map around until you are at Wescoat Bog.

Then at the top in the middle click on the rectangle that says "Map." If the map shows it is green you most likely are on state land. And if it is white, don't go there. You can see at this link Wescoat Bog is private and you should not fish there.
