[QUOTE=numbskull;835969]I'm not trying to bait you, I'm trying to get you to think.


I truly appreciate your attempt to get me out of your perception of my non-thinking mode. But, I am sitting at my desk right now with plumes of smoke coming out of my ears as I think away and the top of my head is sweating like I'm eating hot mexican food.

You say that to compare this law to freshwater laws is simplistic. I disagree. I grew up inland, in Worcester, freshwater fishing and continue to freshwater fish. Everybody who fishes inland faces exactly the same scenarios as you describe every summer. The law says get a license. It doesn't matter if you are only going one time to catch sunfish with a bobber and worm or have a $30,000 Ranger bassboat. Whoever you take out be it on fourth of July weekend at the lakeside barbecue or whatever, if they fish they need a license.
That probably does discourage some people from fishing, but what can you do.

I am not saying we should like it or agree with it and I see the inconvienience of it, but I don't see it as complicated unless your planning not to conform to the law.
