Lots of money is spent on enforcement etc.
You can't even use a federal park without paying a fee.
As long as the license is under 20 bucks I don't see a downfall. In actuality maybe some guys after buying the license will go more.
They also could have a daily or weekly license at a reduced rate.

When we fished Alaska we had to buy a weekly non resident license . Same as in many other southern states I fished

Might even help slow down the bucket brigades fishing all the jettys

Yeah, I don't think even a small fee is going to help attract customers... Its NJ we're talking about, and personally I have doubts it would be $20 license.. maybe they'll prove me wrong.. You can bet that if NJ institutes a license and NY does not, that most anglers in NY would not buy the license and would opt to simply stay on the NY side, and board NY boats where a license would not be required.. We'll see how this washes out..

One thing is for certain.. that ""salt water registry"" bullshit that was joyfully adopted by so many fishermen as a "good thing" was simply a prelude to a license.. Some of us knew from the early spring 2011 when it was adopted what it would lead to, and here we are..bob
