Spareparts, you're 100% correct. Several states started salt water fishing licenses or registrations exactly for that reason, so their states population would not pay the federal government money that they (the states) could collect for themselves. What a bunch of greedy, slimy, bastardos.

A little bit of reading on it from people who know mare than I about it. But basically it is NMFS trying to make money by eliminating state fishing licenses so that you have to get a federal license for MOREm oney and tighter restrictions.

In MA, we now have to get a license for saltwater. First year for this. Got mine last week. I would feel better if the money went to stop the crap off of NC.
