| What a difference from the Connecticut proposal. Listed is where the money will go and what for. they mention a fee for over 70 non-resident. Is there a free senior license for residents? Also very clearly it states what the penalty for not having one is. Connecticut should take a look at it. Thanks for posting it. ps Things I didn't see... Will fishermen on head and charters need a swl? I didn't see non-resident head and charter lic. fees. Does that mean they're the same 200/400 as residents?

| Connecticut should take a look . Maine always seems to make thing simple. Bob for your first question I found this(A license is not required to engage in saltwater recreational fishing in coastal waters for an individual under 16 years of age or a resident 70 years of age or older.) | ||

Chuck, Thanks didn't see that. I wish these states would take two steps back, like New Hampshire, and think this thing through. I'm not opposed 100% to a license that is fair and the money goes into improving the fisherie. Just don't want it going into a pile to be spent on whatever. Get a real plan first.

| It's 200 for charter capts. and $400 for head boats......I would assume this covers our customers so that they will NOT need a license....if not, we will definetly have issues. I have no problem paying it ONLY if it goes where they say it will | ||
