Fines def need to be increased .

But we DONT have a license , the registry is free , and more than likely those taking all these fish don’t even have it .

A salt water license would allow the charge to carry through every state under the new systems .‘poachers wouldn’t be able to buy a hunting or fishing license anywhere.
Much more severe penalty .

And IF we had a salt water license we would get our share of the Federal excise tax NJ salt angler put millions into and get nothing back …
The registry doesn’t count for that.
