That is a good point but unfortunately the net result in your scenario wold be a loss in revenue to the state which may not be palatable. If this bill gets passed and signed by Governor Moon beam it is a small victory for California sportsmen. I think it a total misconception that the current licensing plans is a major contributor to the decline in recreational fishing in California. And to expect that there will be success similar to Texas is a total fantasy. Texas is a state of sportsmen first of all and secondly, as a resident I can buy an all water resident license for $40. Actually 22 bucks because I'm a senior. The current licensing scheme in California is one of the trivial many problems, not the significant few.
