You know as well as I at times it's an absolute parking lot out there during summer months.
You’re a numbers guy 9.5 million residents .
72,000 hunting license sales
130,000 fresh water license sales
117,000 in saltwater registry , though they say 500k to 1 million may fish in the salt via charters and head boats .
