Why is that even being suggested? 
How will paying for a permit to catch the current size fish help to meet a ridiculously calculated quota that they want to reduce??? IMO, this is a lead in to paying for fishing or licensing as required in other states....my .02 |
This is a very slippery slope here so I answered I would not be willing to pay and when asked if there was such a program, how much I wold be willing to pay I put zero.....
Unless someone could convince me otherwise, I'm dead set against paying for the privilege to fish for what is a natural resource. The ocean isn't some pond or stream where we are paying to catch stocked fish.
