me and my granddad do a lot of salt water fishing.

I know I need to buy it but he is 72 yrs old, does he need to buy it?

Fishing licenses suck. I'm banking on getting 1 ticket or less every 10 years and breaking even on the deal.

i have a lifetime in NY now what good will that do me here

It just sucks that there is no vessel permit for this license. I think most states are going to start moving towards a similar license. Maybe we will just fish the outer banks but take our catch to Virginia Beach.

$15/year isnt bad though

I thought the lifetime thing is for freshwater fishing only.

2/19/2007 12:05:22 PM

if you purchased one before Jan. 1 2006, you are exempt from the saltwater

2/19/2007 1:23:06 PM

I personally feel like this is NC regulating someone else's yard.

2/19/2007 2:42:15 PM

I don't think you need a license to fish in somebody's private property, just public property.

2/19/2007 3:14:42 PM

yeah I wish I had bought my lifetime fishing license a few year ago

2/19/2007 3:18:46 PM

live bait residents of a particular county are exempt

as are people with food stamps


otherwise, if you're in "in-shore" NC waters, better have a license

Fisheries are considered common property. Does not belong to one entity. Money will pay for enforcement and research (at least they say).

Revenue from saltwater licenses and stamps has done wonders here in Florida.

I don't see how anyone can bitch about $15/year. Especially when the State of North Carolina is starving for revenue for the research and proper management of the natural resources that anglers enjoy (and would want to be sustainable).

Politically, it will help recreational fishermen in terms of fisheries management and public policy.
