certification prior to issuing a saltwater fishing license ?

[Mike P]

Geez--are you going to run this nonsense on every website under the sun today?

Have you posted on Reel-Time yet? Maybe you'll actually get taken seriously there.

Boy, I can't wait for February, at the rate this place is going now.

I also think it would be a good idea if bait and tackle shops, online "fishing" sites, clubs and "meetings" be required to have any individual purchasing anything fishing related show that they have a license to purchase (bait, tackle, lures..)

Sounds like you're just antagonizing people about an overwhelmingly frustrating topic.

Only hole with your "point":
never been a test for a freshwater license.

Make a freshwater and saltwater license as one and require certification.

please striprman are you for real? First of all hunting requires weapons ....trapping-well that doesnt really exist anymore and driving? Is there really a need for an explanation to why they have a "test" for these activities?
Fishing hardly falls in the same category....

Fishing requires weapons, not firearms. Rods are used to kill fish, I take that as being a weapon of sorts, fillet knifes, fish billys, gaffs...

Will I need a license to jig up a bucket of squid off the pier/causeway or to net some chubs for fluke ?

ya, maybe they'll make you watch a boring video like they do at Race Point. I nominate striprman to produce such a qualifying video
