Saltwater fishing has been a right for everyone and now it is not. Thank you Obama Admin. (I don't want to hear your pro Obama whining)
Many people will not have a lic and claim ignorance and past history and there will be very few summons written for no lic.

I agree. I paid for mine last week and by the time I'm fishing, I'll have forgotten that I had to pay for it. My big problem with paying for saltwater fishing is where the funds are allocated. If they were used for improving access or building fishing piers, etc... I have no problem with paying. Heck, if the money went to improving access for anglers, I'd gladly pay more than $12. It's a shame in MA (and RI for that matter) that there are so few places for people with limited physical mobility to fish from shore. In Florida they use license fees to make fishing more accessible to people, while here we pay but have less access.
