Maybe they'll lavy a tax on things like the number of fish that you WOULD have caught had you actually went fishing, or since you caught X many keepers last year/season, you should pay X amount for a license this year, but you would NEVER pay less than any prior year.
How's that for a future of the recreational/commercial licensing BS?

Nail on the head......

They had a booth at the boat show, stopped by it yesterday and ask them what the fee was for a charter boat as your passengers do not need a license. The fee is $65 for Charter vessels and covers everybody on board, the women told me they sent out the info to charter boats about 3 weeks ago, I told her we never got that information so she put me on a list to send out this week. I did grab some of the recreational permit forms as we also surf fish so we will be covered either way.

This info is correct.
What was our $10 charter Permit on our DMF state boat permit is now a separate permit costing $65, but it makes no mention of it as a salt water fishing lic.
I and a lot of other guys thought they just raised the charter permit fee from $10 to $65 (just like they raise everything other fee in this state)
Got a Stellwagen charter boat association meeting tomorrow night, spoke with the secretary last week and they plan to go over this and explain it in detail.
I'll pass along that info later in the week.
