There's no denying that a single saltwater outing can "pay" for itself or that the pleasure a sportsman gets from pursuing his passion is reason enough to buy a license. Like Lotto tickets, it's worth the price just to dream. If I didn't have other plans that will keep me busy for the foreseeable future I'd be complicit as well.grin Good luck to everyone and make sure to wear a PFD...especially kids. We're lucky to live in a place that's so beautiful the scenery alone is worth the price of admission and sharing that with friends and family is priceless.
