I picked up my SW license yesterday and had it laminated w/ no issue. The talk at the B&T was not only the license itself but also the amount of visible enforcement that has been around lately. Not sure if the enforcement is educational, written warning or actual tickets. But I am very happy to see this level of enforcement, now; if only the current level of enforcemnt is maintained.
Will this enforcement be around come April and May of 2010 when the educational phase of the license period should be over and a straight fine is written.
I think as part of the fine process, a persons gear should be confiscated until their fine is paid. Any gear unclaimed after 1 full year will be donated to childrens, disabled citizens, senior citizens or veterans fishing programs.
