Everybody has valid points, but the main point is that for the most part why should we have to pay for something that is no ones property??? Last time I checked the states do not own every fish in the state, so why should we have to pay the state to catch them. Also, don't forget that the license may be $22, but a trout stamp is another $10.50 for those that trout fish. And no offense Jig cause you bring up a good point that kids should get jobs to pay for their own stuff, but not every kid has a job so not all kids have the money to pay for their own licenses.
maybe if aj got a job he wouldnt complain about money......p.s u owe me money for bait from last weekend
A couple of factiods , There's been a 41% decline in fishing license sales over the last ten years in New Jersey. This is the reason for the price increase in fishing licenses . I was talking to the hatchery dude today , and he informed me there is a 10% CUT IN THERE FUNDS FOR 2004 . Pretty scarey when you think about . This why it's so important to get the younger generation involved in our sport before it's to late . So this year do us all a favor and take a kid or 2 fishing . And as far as I'm concerned , I'd pay a $100 for a fishing license if I had to, whare else can you get that much enjoyment , for such a cheap price . I also think we should need a license to fish saltwater , they do in almost every other state in the union . It's time the saltwater fisherman pulled there weight . Mike K.
Ok, first of all yes I'm serious that we shouldn't have to pay for a license, if they wanna make you get one to keep a check on how many people fish than fine, I don't have a problem with paying for one since I have since I've needed one that is just my opinion. I would never pay $100 bucks for one either, I would just go fishing and say the heck with a license. Now for Shawn I'll pay you, I wanted to do the bet, mark was the one that didn't until he caught that bass or the pickeral whichever came first. And as I said, I do have a job, but yes I am cheap but I have been buying a lota stuff lately, and am going to wallmart to get a BUNCH of new stuff for open water comin up so there!!!
ok shawn your right there shouldnt be a seperate liscence for salt water, but that isnt fair to freshwater fishermen. saltwater angles should have to buy the same liscence we do.
