Mark my words - fishing license then stamps for anything you actually want to catch, one at a time with a new one every 5 years.
Look at hunting and guns if you want to see how this will turn out.
“The national registry of saltwater anglers is the key to closing a major gap in information on recreational fishing,” said Jim Balsiger, NOAA acting assistant administrator for NOAA’s Fisheries Service. “It will help us conduct surveys to get a more complete picture of how recreational fishing by an estimated 14 million people is affecting fish stocks. This will lead to better stock assessments and more effective regulations to rebuild and manage these valuable fish.”
No it won't.
I've said it before, you can crticize the NRA all you want, but they don't give an inch without a fight. We need something similar.
