We pay for feshwater licenses and the money is SUPPOSED to be used for supporting the freshwater fishery. But it ended up diverted to the state budget and they're closing hatcheries down for lack of funds.

My guess is that any money we did put towards saltwater licensing would end up in that big hole in the ground we call the Big Dig and not in supporting the fisheries as it should be intended for.

just my $.02
