At that price it would be the most expensive saltwater license on the East Coast.

You missed the point entirely, it was an example of free market enterprise vs. the government artificially stifling competition. Not a comparison of riverboat business to fishing business

Everybody sing along!

On the twelfth day of Christmas my NJ saltwater license gave to me,

Twelve million in Federal stimulus funds
Eleven new scientists
Ten new fish & game wardens
Nine new administrative staff
Eight hundred new construction jobs
Seven new hatcheries
Six new patrol boats
Five hundred thousand cut from the general fund
Four million marine fisheries deficit
Three party boats to choose from
Two bag limit for fluke

and an increase in my license fee.

Kensdock,
You have had ample opportunity to voice your opinion and offer debate on this subject as is always the goal and purpose of the fishery management forum. Unfortunately you have missed the opportunity to back up any of your statements with credible resource, directly answer questions posed to your statements and/or provide facts to substantiate anything. Other than giving our readers a forum to dis-spel the myths and mis-information surrounding a SWL proposal I think the thread is going in circles and more importantly taking away from the real issues at hand. Its obvious the OPINION from the thread is OPPOSED to a SWL.

Thread will be closed at noon today so we can move forward to other issues.

Thanks all for your input
