where is all of the money go to? Fishing is the same or worst. Launch site for kayaks maybe?

How about to employ wardens to catch lobster poachers. After all I bet there are more people poaching lobster than any other species in SoCal.

It sucks but get over it guys.

At least the fishing license isnt like a hunting license.

38.85 For the license
7.90 for upland Game Stamp
16.80 for the CA duck stamp
and then another 16.00 for a federal waterfowl stamp

Not to mention that if you want to hunt deer, boar, or most any other mammal you need to buy a tag that will run you between 12.00 and several hundred dollars.

All of this just to hunt for less than 1/3 of the year(100 days) while with a fishing license you get the whole year.

As CJ said "It sucks but get over it guys."
It's a done deal. Your chance to be heard by the DFG was last December at a couple of public hearings. I posted about them on a few of the various kayak forums at the time...I guess everybody was too busy catching Bugs to care back then!

13 days to the OPENER...I can't wait to taste some fresh Lobster soon!
I'll see you guys at the OEX Lobster seminar on the 23rd.

If I had to guess, it goes towards protecting seals, MLPA and PETA.

For people who dive from the beach... We need to have our bug report card within 500 yards of where we enter the water.

Yep 500 yards with the fishing license in my truck. Might just avoid problems though and throw it in my dry box with license and stick it in my float.

Got my report card. There is NO WAY you can fill one out on the water while in a yak. It looks like it will be ruined shortly after conatct with water. And you know when pullin bugs on a yak everything gets wet. It sure is going to be one big pain in the ass. With that said

I CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!!

Well, I gotta fish for bugs too, so... I will bring it on my yak, and fill it out, and then it will get ruined, and when they want to see my wet, wrung out, ink stained, ruined paper/sludge report card, I'll kindly oblige!
