with a whole 2 active DEM agents patrolling RI from shore, the poachers will still get away with murder.... and the non licensed anglers will continue to fish non-licensed. In RI the enforcement just isnt there its purely bs.


:hidin:

The fed license fee will go into the fed version of the general fund.

In those states that already require a license their citizens will not be required to have the fed license.

A great example of good state licensing is TX.The sw license fees were directly responsible for the comeback of reds and specks after the Great Freeze of '83.Also the enforcement of laws pertaining to fishing are very well enforced.

A bad example COULD be RI.Every time legislation for sw licensing has been intro'd in RI it has always come down to all funds going to the general fund.Earmark those funds going right back to DEM and I'll be the first in line for one and there'll be just as many green vehicles out there as there are gray.
