That's correct. The only purpose of the registry is to count noses--put a number on the recreational fishing population. Which is why most if not all states are granting license reciprocity--they only want everyone to be counted once. Once you have a license, the state that issued it will presumably send the requested data to NOAA.

Then why the hell are paying for a license next year, if this is free why can't it be like this always..

I'm still 20 steps behind you guys... seeing as I am still having a hard time swallowing the fact that someone is now "allowing" me to cast a line into the unstocked ocean, charging me a TAX to do so, and then spending my money nowhere near the ocean!!! Honestly not sure how I am going to proceed...
