I am not in support of the RI SW license but am wondering, if licenses go into effect in RI and potentially other states, what the residual outcome they will have on reducing pressure on our hallowed gamefish.

Is $ 18 really a big deal ? One may spend that on gas driving on the beach in a night.

If the legislation is wriitten that funds from the licensed be appropriated for DEM work will it then be OK ?
[list=1][*]I don't think license will reduce pressure on game fish. It will produce a lot of ilegal fishing, and if fishing without a license why bother with lenght or limit. If you get caught you get a fine...[*]$18.00 is not a big deal. BUT, is that all... what will the cost for non residents be? $18.00 for 14 day lic. etc. etc.[*]So how often does a politician tell you the truth? Today the money goes to the DEM, next year the DEM budget is reduced and the excess money goes to the GF. [/list=1]

just my two cents and how's fishing beachwalker.
