yeesh. still trying to catch our collective breaths here in CT heading off anti-gun legislation (one-gun-a-month, ballistic fingerprinting, licensing of ammo dealers) and now we gotta deal with this crap?
i personally don't mind paying for a saltwater license ... so long as the proceeds go to DEP coffers, and not the general fund.
also, from a political perspective a saltwater license could finally provide a headcount of recreational angling participants - definitely ammo that can be used against the commercial interests.
i'm waiting to hear back from ct sportsmen (our state sportsman's lobbying organization) on where they stand on this issue.
