Boston Globe article on Fishing Liscences!

FYI...The Fed plan is still in development and is open for comment until August 11. It is unlikely a plan open until this late in the year will be ready to roll out in 2009. Also, no cost of the fed plan in 09 and '10 but definately a cost for '11. Here from the feds June 25th at the MSBA meeting.

There is a lot of political work to do and statements of finality are all incorrect. nothing is set in stone as of yet and the fight must be waged.

Thank you Patrick for the info. It would be nice to have the state in charge of this if pssible. Looking forward to what the Fed guys have to say at the meeting. Keep up the good work.

I still don't see what we are going to get for are money?

They still going to survey people like they do now, They can't stock the fish, they are never going to find land cheap enough to build new ramps, and what about shore access??
We already have to pay to drive the beaches that are closed 1/2 the season cause of the F*&% Birds !

The list goes on!! So instead of them beating around the bush saying this is going to help the fishing, why not tell us how they are going to do it, were is the money going? Besides hiring more people to troll the canal to find people for not having a lic.

And I am sorry and I mean not to offend anyone on this board or off this board!! But we have all kinds of ethnic groups here, some were hurt 100's of years ago, and others 1000's of years ago, But how long must all of us pay for the mistakes of yesteryear?
Thats history! and old history, we all need to pay if thats the way its going to be!

They can't and won't do this if everyone is against it, I mean everyone!!! But we all have come to except fees on everything we do! Its wrong, and we ALL need to SCREAM FOUL!!

My balls are flesh colored so if they were blue, they were not mine.
