Default Saltwater license up 135%
This may have been discussed before, but today I went to renew my licenses, and everything remained the same except for the saltwater license-up from $5.50 to $13? How can they justify that kind of increase? Started not to get one on principle-but I did anyway.

Is that what those barges blowing gravel or sand into the south part of the lake is? Reefs or pads for oysters?

These will be off limits to oyster dredging for at least 2 years from WLF


They did one behind the old jetties several years back but it was silted up and all oysters died

I would imagine lifetime has already been adjusted to relfect the new price. One thing is certain...a freshwater license increase isn't far behind. What maybe $17-18.

Still the same price for a lifetime license. Doubt the freshwater increases, considering the reasoning behind the saltwater increase. There have been freshwater hatcheries for decades, and I believe the saltwater license increase was partly to fund new saltwater fish hatcheries.

Come on $13 dollars, lets see that breaks down to 7 cents per trip on average for me to saltwater fish. It's the best bargain our state has to offer.

If they're going to increase the sw license it should be across the board.
