Supposedly, the fee for next year will be dictated by how many register this year. They will take the total expense and divide it by the number of registered anglers and that will be the fee. I read that somewhere but can't remember where or I would post it.
Obviously, you have not spent much time fishing in Florida or Texas as I am sure you would realize the benefits of a saltwater license.

The closed sea bass season and others are in Federal waters and have nothing to do with a state fishing license.
Capt.TB Whose side are you on?Most recreational anglers support a saltwater license according to the polls that have been taken after long debate on the subject. Taking into consideration precision and bias, the accuracy of the polls are excellent.
Quote from: Kensdock on March 11, 2010, 08:38:04 PMTB,You have no idea of what I know or do not know about commercial fishing. What you should know is that regulators routinely take enforceability into consideration. OK...I am not trying to be mean or nasty, like I have stated before. ...But, if you know more or have more knowledge of regulations and fisheries how come you don't share this. Everything is so secretive with you and all of your posts are 99% propaganda with no basis on facts! They come off very ignorant and insincere. Opinions are like @$$holes, everyone has one, some are cleaner than others and some spew more effin $*@! than others...yours seems to spew non stop. I think, I can speak for all of the other members here, who are very, very good people, excellent and knowledgeable fishermen/women, who have no problem having a healthy argument, yet giving you the shirt off their back if you needed it, WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF READING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN! WE GET IT...you want a saltwater license. That is your choice and your opinion and if you believe this is best then stick with that. You are certainly not winning over others here with your half @ss campaign and propaganda.Now, with that being said, how about posting some fishing information and joining this great community for what it is...the real reason we are all here. I think if you join us this way, you will see the knowledge and expertise of the people here and we will see yours as well. I don't doubt that you are a passionate, experienced and talented fisherman...so contribute to the positives and leave the argumentative stuff for the politicians!

Jerry Schull, Executive Director of North Carolina Fisheries Association has been leading the fight against a saltwater license: He was quoted in the November 2003 issue of National Fisherman as saying, "Look what happened in other states. In some states you have got game fish status. In other states gill net bans. In Florida, they got the ultimate: a commercial net ban."
Why does the commercial fishing industry oppose a salt water license?
