Right to Fish

I am continuing my "right to travel by automobile fight" and have added the right to fish argument. Here is my recent letter to the department of Fish and Game of California.

Hello,
Im wondering why, and how, a sports fishing license is "required" to fish in the ocean, http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/fish...shdescrip.html
according to the website, when clearly one is not needed according to The Fish and Game code and the California constitution?

Please clarify.
Cal. Fish and Game code Sec. 3 http://law.onecle.com/california/fish/3.html
The "Right" to fish has long been acquired, and well established in this state. Sec 3 of the Fish and Game code says:

"...This code shall not impair any

privilege granted or right acquired..."

Cal. Fish and Game Code Sec. 7153(a) http://law.onecle.com/california/fish/7153.html
7153(a) says: (emphasis mine)

"A sport fishing license is NOT required to take fish by

any legal means, for any purpose other than profit, from a public

pier, as defined by the commission, in the ocean waters of the state,

or..."

and finally and most importantly the California constitution in Article 1, sec 25 http://law.onecle.com/california/con...icle_1/25.html

states that Fishing is a "Right".

Art. I Sec. 25:

Section 25. The people shall have the right to fish upon and from

the public lands of the State and in the waters thereof, excepting

upon lands set aside for fish hatcheries, and no land owned by the

State shall ever be sold or transferred without reserving in the

people the absolute right to fish thereupon; and no law shall ever be

passed making it a crime for the people to enter upon the public

lands within this State for the purpose of fishing in any water

containing fish that have been planted therein by the State;

provided, that the legislature may by statute, provide for the season

when and the conditions under which the different species of fish

may be taken.

Thank you
