Excellent Point TC.
It would be interesting to see if the state funding in Florida stayed the same in reference to increases.Or leveled off after they implemented the saltwater licensing down there..

I'd be in favor of a FEDERAL saltwater fishing license IF they got rid of the Fishing Excise Tax. By Federal I mean $20-30 a year and good anywhere in the country, Feds dole out the $$ like they do for the excise right now.

NO LICENSE PERIOD. If no one bought one and we all/everyone still fished, what could they possibly do?

Just one more revenue source for them.......

They might as well tax you every time you flush, because at some point in time what you flushed ends up in the aquafier. Once water use becomes a source of revenue watch out.

I bet they'd fine us, if we don't pay the fine, then we won't be able to register our cars or renew drivers licenses and crap like that. I guess if they catch you fishing you just give them a fake name right?

I want to know why this is already happening. makomike must know something he's not telling us

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Not at all. I told you the law than enacted it at the federal level, the fact that NH has already cited that law in introducing a salt water license. I hear "through the grapevine" that CT will introduce a licensing bill next week. The federal law opened up the floodgates on this and I'm hoping that if we can get enough people motivated before this train leaves the station we may be able to influence what the new systems look like. See my next post where I'll lay out some more details.

More parking and access.
Towns could be required to create more parking and/or remove those "no parking" signs in areas that are mutually agreeable.

just finished reading

this article by Charley Soares

http://http://www.fishingthesalt.com/previous_tips.htm
http://www.fishingthesalt.com/article_month.htm

I am beginning to get a more clear perspective....

especially the difference between a conservationist
and a preservationist....

and another good point he made is that a Saltwater license
regardless of the first fee... for it... will make us all more
politically involved in the whole process.

I'm not sure but I think your talking about what is known as he "Pittman-Robertson Act". This is one tax I don't mind paying. It goes into the restoration of wildlife. Not sure it effect fishing. I'll have to check.

[QUOTE=NIGHT STRIKES;457274]Personally I just do not trust any federal,state or local goverment to use the entire proceeds of a fishing license towards our fishery..

yes night strikes ...you strike again!!

no trust=no liscense....they'll take the money and protect the plovers.

or worse feed the seals.

to hell with it. let the bird lovers pay for the liscense.
