RI just passed the law which is where I do the majority of my summer fishing....

Mass will be next which is where I do the majority of my spring & fall fishing......

I believe FLA has had the law for some time now

I don't understand mass. The commonwealth always believed in open fishing access to the ocean.

Horrible thing it goes into the states general fund. Sportfishermen see very little of it's revenue.


Coming to your state soon. I like some of New York's communities refusing and sueing the fed.
I wonder how far that is going to go.

Accept "Donkey Kong" Deval has let so many businesses leave the state I'm sure they are licking their chops at any revenue they can possibly get their hands on to keep "the good ole boys employed"

The working class tax paying citizens will once again take it in the can

How about your trailer registration this time around

It is being rammed down our throats by NOAA. NOAA enacted regulations that says if states don't enact a state saltwater fishing license, that fishers will have to get a federal license instead.

NOAA claims that the purpose of the license is to allow them to more accurately determine the harvest by recreational fishers via polling. Prior to this, if NOAA had asked me what I had caught when and where, I would have simply claimed amnesia. Now if NOAA asks me this on the phone, I will tell them ESAD. If they ask me in person, it will be very difficult for me to avoid arrest for assault.

Unfortunately, the states don't have the stones to tell NOAA to go pound sand. This isn't about tracking the harvest, as the data they retrieve will be complete crap. This is all about a bureaucracy doing what bureaucracies do -- expand and perpetuate themselves.

OK, I wont ask about the Fishing thingy BUT how much for the Commercial tags ?

Its all depending on weight, over sized, or if its hazardous material.

Normally about $12 / 1,000 lbs trailer rating. Plus $50 / 1,000 for excess weight.

Now its $40 / 1000 lbs up to 5.000lbs or over 5,000lbs $20 / 1000 lbs. Where a semi trailer is only $300 for five years

So a 100,000 lbs trailer costs about $5000 per year to reg.
