Fist of all a Marine Patrol officer has never asked me for a fishing license. I expect only a Fish and Game officer will ask you.

Second, here is the law:
214:2 License Required; Exception. –
I. The provisions of RSA 214:1 shall not apply to resident land owners while upon their own land or to the owner's children under 16 years of age when accompanied by the owner or another licensed person 18 years of age or over on such land, to persons fishing in ponds operated and maintained in an aquaculture operation, to persons hunting on a regulated shooting area, to persons under 16 years of age while fishing, to persons under 16 years of age while hunting when accompanied by a licensee 18 years of age or over, or to residents under 16 years of age while trapping when accompanied by a licensee 18 years of age or over.

I can't find a written law or rule addressing the need to have a licensed parent. But if you're helping them, then it's up to the F&G officer to decide if you are fishing or not.
