Mike is right on! All this is is a way to fatten the politicians pockets or get more disguised tax,con the public,pull a fast one,line the coffer's,pay for drug addicts rehab,build a monument,and genarally go everywhere else but back to the ocean. The fishing public will never know where the money is going ever! It will always be sidestepped,put off, not answered,unaccounted for etc..etc...etc...
This saltwater fishing license is the biggest snowjob/joke/idiotic/stupid proposall out there.Put it to rest and forget about it! It will never happen anyway,and if it does, no one should be jumping up and down over it, How would they ever in the universe enforce it? Are they going to find a surcaster at 2 am in the morning "breaking the law"? are the going to take nightly walks out to naps? How can they prove a guy is fishing? will it be illegall to walk on the beach with a rod? how can they prove what he was doing? what about catch and release? will that be legall? what exactly are they going to do with the money? stock 50lber's? put a few more rocks on the jetty's? shovel sh$t against the tide? clean up all the seaweed?
They certainly wont open up more access! you can bank on that! The private spots will still be private.The rich still control the politicians,always have,always will. the clowns will still be at all the well known watering holes, they may add more parking which would definatly make things better......ya-right.If anyone thinks that these law makers give a damn about some surfcaster's, think again, they could care less!
In plain english, The powers that be see the amount of money the generall public spends on recreational fishing, and have come up with a great way to cash in themselves.Simple as that.....
