Right on Downriggin! I totally agree with you 100%. Our state is screwing sport fishermen every chance they get. Its not about the $40.00 for the liscence, its about where the money is going! Te fact of the matter is that the money is not going where it is supposed to go. Hatcheries are closing, pubic access areas aren't being maintained, and the hatcheries that are still in business aren't planting near the numbers of fish that they used to. Rivers are closing, and there is generally less and less fishing opportunity for more and more money spent every year. This attiude of less bithin, more fishin would be fine in a perfect world, but things are far from perfect here.
