I’m headed to a fishing vacation with my boat in the Georgia mountains. The lake has a state line dividing it. One side is South Carolina one side is GA. Will I have to get both licenses? I’ve never dealt with something like this before.

I would imagine so, or just stay on the Ga. side

You may be able to get a license for just that lake. Texoma (Texas and Oklahoma) offers one like that. Cheaper than buying a license for both states.
A lot of border waters let the license from either fish from boat, not necessarily from bank though
Georgia and South Carolina’s reciprocal freshwater fishing license agreement allows anglers to fish on border waters with a valid fishing license from either state. Border waters include the Chattaooga River to Lake Hartwell and downstream waters such as lakes Russell and Clarks Hill, and the Savannah River.

If I remember right, in the reciprocal
agreement between N.H. and Vt.,
you could bank fish the Connecticut
River from either shore with either license - you were also allowed to
fish feeder streams/tributaries as
far upstream as the first bridge
crossing over said tributary !
I believe that Arizona and California have a similar reciprocal agreement where you can fish from either shore with either license, as well !

Looks like where he’s going it’s both, we have the Columbia river between WA-OR can have people in same boat from both any difference in regs they have to follow their state, so can be fishing different rules in same boat. Can’t go fish the same water from the OR bank. Either license doesn’t matter which side you launch from, somewhere people got the idea it did.
On the Columbia river bordering Washington and Oregon you can fish the river using either states license. That MIGHT apply in your case

Thank you, thought I posted the regs 4 posts in
Purchase the license in the state you are staying in. You can fish either side of the lake, but you must return with your catch to the state where you purchased the license. Good luck

Learned the hard way once on the line between Michigan and Canada The guy showed me my position on a very expensive GPS and then made sure I worked overtime the following week. Where you fish you need a license.
