If it's gonna happen anyway and it won't cost me any money out of my pocket like you described, yes I'd support it. I just wish a fresh water license would work the same way and be good in any state, but that's another subject.
What will the cost to administer these be?I hope it doesn't suck too much out of that excise tax on fishing tackle.

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.

Even if it happened, I would not trust it.. every time I have gotten anything for free from any form of Govt... it ended up being a fee down the road.

Example.. Beach Stickers.. they used to be Free.. anybody remember? It is just so we get a count... OK..
Than 5 bucks... oh.. Residents Free.. then a couple more years... $20.. Residents $5...

Look at the 5 buck so called Donation on your FW liscense.. How can it be a donation, if it is Mandatory....

BINGO!
I'm w/Karl
sooner than later the request will come: "PAY UP SUCKA"....

That being said, if it happens it happens...if we have to pay, we'll pay...but we get drained enough from the government as it is...so I'm against any kind of salt/license.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Every state plus a fed license

I can see it now:within three miles of shore it will be a state license, outside the three mile limit in federal waters it will be a federal license, and it will be that way in each and every state/commonwealth.oke:
