$10.00
Don't grumble. In CT the Gov. went from $10.00 to $60.00and thats just for saltwater, all outhers have gone way beyond reach also.

10 for me......no big deal
10 for each of my grown kids......OK
10 for each of my kids' visiting friends from college who want to go fishing once...ugh
10 for the neighbor who would like to go out if the wind that am is not too much.........aaaaagh!
Will there be some kind of "take a friend fishing once" exemption? Or some kind of transferable multi-person option?

How much will the fine be if you are caught without one?
Will I see any jail time??
Heck! Folks who are caught taking more than their share, caught with herring in their possession are punished less harshly I would bet!!!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Exactly Larry. Not that I advocate breaking the law but how can they expect to enforce with such a limited force(officers) and lots of shoreline. I may roll the dice on registering. This is bull crap big time. It will go up every year mark my words and those funds will not be spent on what it should! Total BS!  |

Larry - I'm not happy about this so don't get me wrong - but you fish freshwater - do you buy a license for that or do you go rogue ?

I know this may seem like a long-shot...
But do you guys think there could be a way to make a list of shore access spots that we can petition for...or improvements on the time allowed to park/be there, etc?
When we all need to get registered, we could make this into a better outcome. For example....we get 300 registered SW fishermen to say they want a parking spot near loblolly cove (just pick a place)...can the state help us out?
Or will they say that the town has first rights to things like that?
Just an idea...and of course, I find this to be $10 wasted.

No I buy a FW license Steve. Given the financial climate was this good timing for this?? Was this about improving our fishing?? Or was it about more dough for the govenment??? I think the latter!!! I am not one to break the law....and I am also not going to get in dutch over $10......so I will do it....but I do not like it! All you guys who think this money will be going "to the right places" I think will be eating your hat soon enough!

$10 is a bargain-but with it comes the bigger question-will ri,ct,ny have recripocal rights with mass license or do you gotta buy thats states license to fish there. |

If this issues has not been addressed, then I say screw it.
They've had how many months/years to fisgure this out?
If it only addtresses the amount of the fee and what it is "intended" to cover then it was a complete waste of our time.
We may need to stage a Massuachusetts Tea party type protest if all issues haven't been properly covered. There is no worse feeling than getting screwed by a panel that failed to address ALL pertinent issues related to this topic.
I do fear that the state will implant one of its stooges into the fisheries budget panel to ensure that they can take and do whatever they want with impunity. |

as far as Reciprocity goes...
since RI doesn't have a license the answer would be no for that State.
and since CT and NY waters do not border MA then the answer is no for those 2 states.
But we gots 16 miles of NH coastline to frolic on..... |

This is what is irritating me about this whole thing. |
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

There should be a variant/possibility where the recreational "boat" buys 1-4 licenses good for the year which can be used to cover anyone coming on board for a friendly day of fishing. What kind of positive ID will be associated with each license? |

What do they do with the fresh water license when situations like this arise? I now they have daily licenses in some areas. Maybe that will be an option, but what would the cost be? $10 for the year is still pretty reasonable compared to the fresh water license. |

From Senate Bill, No.2200
Quote:
|
(f) The director may designate not more than 2 days in each year as free recreational saltwater fishing days. A person may take saltwater finfish for noncommercial purposes on a free recreational saltwater fishing day without obtaining or possessing a permit or paying a permit fee as prescribed in this section; provided, however, that a person who takes saltwater finfish on a free recreational fishing day must comply with all laws, rules and regulations governing the holders of a recreational fishing permit and all other conditions and limitations regulating the taking of saltwater finfish.

read it all right here...

Old Goat...im sure they will incorporate a seal stamp which will require you to pay more in the following years since you may inadvertantly compete with the seals for the stripers and blues...seals have rights too you know.. |

Its money swimming around ,,not fish ,, soon as the numbers are up, so is the pressure to hammer the fish . They paint the picture to whatever suits thier needs . $$$ Politics ... my 2 cents

No government has ever given anyone anything, governments are all about taking things and rights away from one group because another group makes a bigger noise. In this case, the only people who gain are the fish counters.
The only way to fight them is to organize, on the same page, write our representatives that's what they are you know, and vote, vote, vote. If they can't do our bidding or decide to represent other interests, then vote their arses out.
This license is just another fine example of our(the fisherman's) failure to do just that. It's so easy to call or e-mail your rep in Government. Didn't do it. You have to watch them closely, too. Sadly, time for bitching is over and time to pay up is here. It ain't gonna go back, but maybe we can keep increases reasonable.JMHO.
