$100+ lic in our lifetime. Fishermen will have to pay for everything related to fisheries.

I have been totally against the lic up top now. But now I think it may be a good way to cull out the number of fishermen and get the fishery back in some kind of respectable shape. I know it will be a hard pill to swallow but Lets just move it to 100 per person with NO discount for seniors or youths. Frankly, seniors should pay double as they will no doubt use the lic more. I think they should even consider a more excessive fee, maybe 500 to really jump start the fishery back into some kind of respectable shape. I mean considering it will cost a grand each time I put fuel in the boat this summer, 500 is little to complain about.

I already pay:

$160 commercial license
$140 charter boat license
$45 Federal tuna
$50 CT out of state freshwater (for the inlaws)
$50 ME out of state freshwater

that's rediculous Jim, what are you some kind of elitist or something maybe you are being sracastic
not everyone can afford to pay for a salt water rec. license, and at 100 bucks it would definately hurt the sport, kids wouldn't get into it, others also. Why the need to weed out people and make it so less people are fishing? I don't get it, the more that are aware, the better chance of keeping shoreline access, once it's gone, it's gone. Once they charge more, they'll charge more.
I say F that, sounds like the old, give em an inch, take a mile crap to me.
This is why I was against a SW lic. in the first place. It is supposed to be for registration numbers to get an idea how many are SW fishing, not a money grab
