please striprman are you for real? First of all hunting requires weapons ....trapping-well that doesnt really exist anymore and driving? Is there really a need for an explanation to why they have a "test" for these activities?
Fishing hardly falls in the same category....

Fishing requires weapons, not firearms. Rods are used to kill fish, I take that as being a weapon of sorts, fillet knifes, fish billys, gaffs...

Will I need a license to jig up a bucket of squid off the pier/causeway or to net some chubs for fluke ?
