- Part of the problem is that it is seriously broken. The state has absolutely no clue as to how much revenue is generated by how many anglers keeping how many fish or releasing how many fish per season or how many anglers are keeping illegal fish or how many anglers are not knowingly harming fish. There are many good reasons to have a reasonable SW license provided the money goes back. If it ends up purely as a major grab for cash - that will have far reaching effects for the tourism industry and the local B&Ts. Me, I'll have more open beach to myself but that would be pretty selfish
