Saltwater License - State of Federal - Coming
I got a look at the Magnuson Re-Authorization bill last night at a CC Salties meeting. Senate and House will begin hearings on the bill early in 2006.
One key section is on what they call Registration of Saltwater Anglers.
Basically, what it says is that if a state does not have a SW license and doesn't enact one within a year, all recreational anglers will be required to carry a federal license.
Not the exact wording, but I'm sure you get the point.
And what state will not enact a license if the alternative is to see $ go to Washington ?
Food for thought.
